Size Matters!

I bought a spokeshave on ebay to carve hunting bows, but it wasn't exactly what I expected. Today, it came in the mail. My mom hollered from the computer in the kitchen  that a box came in the mail for me and when she did I thought, "Yes, my shoveshave is here." When I went to the dining room to retrieve it, I saw this small box sitting on the table for me. I lifted the box up, and it was very light. I took it to my room to open it and pulled out this ity bitty little spokeshave. It would be great if I was carving a mini bow for a figurine or something. After I discovered that the spokeshave was the wrong size, I went to the ebay page where I purchased the item and sure enough the description stated a length of 3 1/2 inches. I should have checked the size! I guess you can say I was expecting something a little bigger?

Lesson: The next time you go on ebay to buy something, make sure it is the right size. Even if you are certain about the size, still check. I was certain the spokeshave I bought was going to be as larger and didn't bother to check the size and look what happened! Don't make this mistake!

This is the picture that represented the item. The item looks like this, but...

the picture doesn't show the size!
