Painstaking

Back in the day where a bank desk deserved spending time on to carve.

This thing was massive and looked like a huge, rotating torture device. Actually it was a place you went to stand and fill out your deposit slips. It'd scare the crap out of me, and half the customers wouldn't have been tall enough to use it. Maybe they had some little step stools.

The Otago Settlers Museum. Worth a good look on a rainy day.
