Now you can paint your house with it to shield yourself from the lizard people's evil mind control rays!

Classy build!

I vote for more '59 roundbacks across the board!

Beauties!

With unique choice you pay extra to pick out the exact piece of wood that you want and you get that exact piece of wood. From the drop down menu you get a randomly selected piece of wood of the species that you chose.

Welcome! While an unfinished roasted body won't just fall apart of explode or anything like that, it will build up dirt, not be water/sweat resistant, etc and I'd definitely recommend some kind of finish on it Roasted swamp ash turns a deep/warm brown once you apply a finish; trying to dye...
