Well, not to me but probably very special for the lady I have made it for.

I took on a commission to rebuild a rotten wheelbarrow style planter. It was too far gone to be honest and would have been easier to make a new one from scratch, but it had been bought for her by her husband shortly before he passed away and she wanted as much original wood remaining as possible. The original was Teak but I patched and replaced with Iroko.
I'm writing the planter rebuild up as an article so will show it at a later date.

I did have to cut into some decent wood to get good joints so used a bit of the slightly more sound stuff to make her a keepsake.

You keep on wheeling out new projects Neil this one is a sentimental must. Like the pen its rich colour impresses.
