I recently got myself some thin sheets of King William Pine from Tasmania. It looks nice and it looks sturdy, I thought it was just right for Christmas ornaments. I have just spent an hour preparing the wood etc., and cutting a special ornament for my son in law but as soon as I started taking the pattern off I knew it was toooooooooooo fragile and yes it broke in two places. Even if its glued back together its still going to be fragile. The moral to this story is, never judge a piece of wood by its beauty.
