4 Hours And A Couple Of Blisters Later...

[minnnt]

Finally got around to debarking some wood that i have been drying out for a few months.

And now i can't feel my thumbs or fingers...

Now i just need to decide which tank to put it in

 

[eaglesaquarium]

you weren't thinking about that as you stripped the bark off?

 

[minnnt]

I was too busy concentrating on not chopping my fingers off

 

[eaglesaquarium]

Understandable I suppose. We men aren't great at multitasking. So it was good that all you have to show for your efforts is clean wood and a few blisters. If it was clean wood with a few stitches that would be much worse. Besides, I don't know if you can put the wood into the tank if it is blood stained. Not that it would be dangerous, but it might not be the look you are looking for.

How cool would stitches be though?

looks good. what type of wood is it? and does it sink yet ? ;p

 

[minnnt]

Been there, done that. It isn't nearly as cool as you might think.

Good job on that wood. It looks good!

 

[jojouk]

Top job!

 

[minnnt]

Thankyou!

Just need to sand it down now and get it in!

 

[XeroTolerance]

Be sure to post a pic or two after you got it in the tank!

 

[minnnt]

[XeroTolerance]
