MICE
Kia Ora this has been my project over the lock down.
We had about 8 mouse traps so I got 4 and my sister got four.
I set mine in our garage and these are my results.

skull cap
Skull Cap Mount
This all started by Dad taking my sister and I out hunting,
and we shot a big 11 pointer stag.
The head wasn't really a record for our farm but I thought it would be cool to have a mount in my room.
So, when we were cutting up the stag I decided to skin the stags head.Man I really thought that this was a privilege.
Firstly we boiled the head in a large pot, so there was no meat left on the head.
Then there was one last thing to do it was probably one of the hardest things, the shield.
We had three options of wood, I choose plywood because it is really easy to work with and you don't have to do as much sanding.
Lastly I stained the wood with a rimu coloured stain.
Below is the head, which I have to mount on a shield.

Making a table in lock down.
Table
Since it is lock down I have decided to make a table with battens.
This is my first table that has worked out, I have tried about 3 times and this is the first that I am happy with.We have tested it, and I can sit and stand on the table without it breaking. This table is made out of old battens and new battens.
I use this table for storing all of my motocross gear on.
What are your thoughts on it?
