I don't have one, I prefer more scientific "instruments".
What wood is it made from? |

Oh go on,
What tree have we got to cut down to get one .
No one will have any trees shortly when the BSI start charging £70 to check your garden trees every year and £300 every three years for a specialist.
I'm planning to cut mine down already, I'm much surprised that no-one has started a thread on the subject in "the tree house"
Max.

Great,
Now I've got to look up a hooligan weather string, wen't to wikipedia for the weather stick, interesting read, invented/discovered by aborigines and can be made of various woods.
