Looks good. I did one for my wife's b'day some years ago. Nice job.

Heart of stone, there's a joke there somewhere.

I’m sure someone wittier than me will be able to figure one out

Here’s another one made out of banded obsidian

Which one do you guys like better?

I like the first one the best, it has a pleasing shape

Now, a gold wire wrap and chain, and I'd say there was a young lady of interest! Very nice work!

If you give that to a girl and she loves it, she's a keeper!

I made my wife one for fun a year or so ago, she keeps it on her desk at work

Great work.

Thanks guys!!!

I gave the first one to my mom and the second one lol to my girlfriend. She seemed to really like it! I think hearts are easier to make than arrowheads… but I guess that’s just because I’m a perfectionist. With an arrowhead I’m worried about the edge being straight and in the middle and it looking right. With a heart I’m more looking for the right shape. These were pretty fun to make!

Those are two nice hearts and I’m sure you made two ladies pretty happy Russell.

PS when I first met my wife to be. I cut out two hearts with a arrow connecting them together out of scrap wood on a bandsaw. Probably took me a whole three minutes. I haven’t ever given her anything since that she treasured more. She still loves it and talks about how “neat” it is.

thats a real sweet story BJ! i kinda chose to do an obsidian heart because one of her favorite lyrics is "I gave you my glass heart, dont drop it"

I think she liked it though. her whole family is super interested in how i made it
