Good morning all
 Was a little bored the other day as my Band Saw blade had broken and its a 150 klm round trip to get one,so I ordered another lot and pulled out my carving knife.The Jewel Beetle is what I came up with .Darby will tell you all about these wood boring beetles,but heres my take on them. Lofty
