Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

Old Fools Journal: Things You Can Make With Sticks

There was this towel rack in the miniscule bathroom in my hovel that I hated. It was a piece of plastic from the 1960's and It was state of the art then. It was also ugly then. What were those people thinking? To its credit it still works after 40 years or so and I will clean it up and take it to the thrift store.
Maybe someone that is into ugly will use it.

So I took some sticks and my pocket knife and set out to make a new one.

It is two sticks of live oak and one of wild cherry.






Wild cherry or some say choke berry.




Below is live oak.
If you are into linear then this is not for you. There are no staight lines here just as in nature.
