Solid Wood

This failure mode suggests that the term "Solid Wood" was used quite loosely when describing this doweling.  It is solid wood in the same way that chipboard is solid wood - all the constituent parts were solid wood before they were glued together.

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

In other news I discovered today I had been shortlisted jointly with the DCMS Safety Tech Team for a "CogX Global Leadership" award for the we've been doing on/for the Online Safety Tech sector.  We're in some pretty illustrious company there so I don't have high hopes of winning, but it's nice to be even considered!
