Huge improvement in your photography! I still say get rid of the string light though, its distracting.

Try getting rid of the busy background in your photos, it does nothing but detract.

It's an amazing challenge to think of coming up with a wood finish when the standard meal is a root vegetable baked in embers and ash. First thing that came to mind was rendered Kangaroo fat :). It sounds like your really limited on resources, if you can get mineral oil from a drugery and heat it to...

Really nice lines Félix
