Show your displeasure for the Google Oligarchs "kissing Trumps ring" rather than doing what's right. They could be in his sights next!

Bangle turned from green silkyoak wood. Ebonised, then finished with shine juice and wax.

Green Pleiogynium timoriense (Burdekin plum) turned into a bag clip.
In the freezer now to see how it handles it!

Dabbling in carving of late. Still new to it all.
