Wee slices o' wood drying in the sun

A sore back, two blisters and about 50 slices of wood; not bad for an hour's work. All cut by hand with a bow saw too. DS2 had cut me about 100 a month ago with his chain saw, but unfortunately these all are now sporting a growth of black mould from being stored in the damp conditions in the Ranger tent. I'm going to dry these *thoroughly* before taking them to work and will store them in my caravan,

 

I use these at children's art and craft sessions to make wood badges or room name plates. I'll drill holes in them and the children like to decorate them with marker pens and thread a string through the hole.

 

It's a nice wee activity to do while they are waiting for the paint to dry when they are painting pebbles.
