But - there are a couple of needle burrs that taper to hair's breadth and beyond... I really like this little guy just as he is, toolmarks and all. Looks like the micro tiki challenge has been resurrected...where's my glasses? PS yes, it looks a lot like the greywacke- until a couple of drops of water get on it. It is also twice as hard to sand and finish! [ Edited by: Paipo 2007-07-03 17:59 ]
