Hi guys,
It was the first time i tried this, it would have been quicker to walk down the shop! But im quite pleased for a first attempt, just need to make it longer now.

Cheers, lou

If you're stripping bark, have a go at making a whistle or two.
With the sap rising, you can have one out in less than five minutes: makes it easier experimenting (read "discarding failures").
