Hi guys, this one's just finished, three flowers (daffodils) for three siblings and a ball in a cage with a twisted stem.  The client was very specific, also it had to be in a dark timber so it's in recycled mahogany, yuck, horrible to work with. It took me a long time to find a way to design the ball and cage into a spoon with flowers but hopefully  they'll like it

Hawkdancer:
Teriffic carving, bet that took a lot of re-honing!

stuckinthemud:
yeh it did!  The wood also proved to be very prone to splitting so I hard to carve a little more 'chunky' than I would have liked too.

Zuma:
Excellentl, stick. That's beautiful.  Perhaps walnut next tine?

Hawkdancer:
Walnut is a bit of a bear to carve also, unless it is not seasoned.  Unseasoned apple, peach, or cherry would be a better choice, I think.
