I Made Ali a Little Pressie

Post by Totally Scrambled »

Ali mentioned that the one she had was looking a little tired so I thought I'd secretly make her a new one.

Do you know what it is yet?
I decided to use some old oak floorboards and mahogany from a saved window frame. I cut them to rough size, planed and smoothed them, glued them together and oiled and waxed the finished article.
Ali was well pleased with the end result )t'
