Men have died for lesser offences

[ohno]

I thought i'd put this in the safety forum becuase it may save peoples lives.

I'll just recount a story that happended last year that still leaves me shaking my head.

I took one of my nearly completed sculptures into work one day to show everyone. They are always curious to see these things because almost always when iam asked what i did on the weekend i answer "woodwork"

Anyway this particular piece was of huon pine and i hadnt put a varnish or oil on yet. After been suitably impressed and admiring of my piece one guy i showed it to licked his thumb and wiped it on the base of the piece to bring out the grain.
The nerve Surely thats crossing the boundaries of ettiquete and bordering upon dueling territory

I know a guy who has to slag over everything to "bring" out the piece.

I used to do a lot of rock polishing and this same guy used to lick all the rocks, then hand them back to you like nothing had happened .........ewwwwhhh

I would have let him see me wipe it on the bum of my shorts.

I always lick timber to see the color.... I dont see what the problem is.
Its fantastic how timbers not only look different but also smell and taste different

I do to but not to someone elses sculpture which they have just shown me.

I think that’s wrong. The bastard wanted to show everyone that he knew what he was doing.

Ask him to lick himself if he really has to.

Everyone is welcome to lick my furniture if they want
