Boat Pole

weeping cross noticed that I had had my pole with the hook pinched and bought me another one - as it happens my pole wasn't stolen but was hiding, but Weeping Cross gave me the new one anyway and I must say - it is GORGEOUS! 8ft long, ash, and he had to wittle down the end (with a stanley knife) to fix the hook onto it. A question remains, shall I paint it, or shall I varnish it....

Place your bets....
