I've got a couple of old pine beams - 5 and fighvaighths square - and
I'd like to make some fucntional art out of them. My initial thought
was to sculpt some icicles but now I'm game for a simple ashtray or
something.

This ng is way busy. Are there any subgroups or other forums that
cater to a smaller crowd?

Indeed - but at least you have the right newsreader, just be brutal in
your use of "Ignore Thread"

Yes try alt.woodworking.waistsize36inches or
alt.woodworking.fivefootfive Much less traffic on them, especially the
first one. They kicked my ass out after only one post.

Hand carved toothpicks. One per beam at the most.

Many years ago I ran what might have been the last poll about if this
group should split. It failed. But people being people, well, the
turners formed r.c.woodturning and the Neader's formed an e-mail list,
and....
I started out neutral on the subject and ended up in favor. If we had
done an intelligent split then, of well.

Thanks, I found that yesterday after a long trudge through links from an
initial google search. It would be nice if there were a link to it on
the rec.woodworking faq.
