Default Carved Poker handle

I know I said I would make some letteropeners bu I couldn't find any wood for one. So instead I made a couple pokers. One of them I did with bark and the other without bark. I did a better job with the one without bark but I never got the chance to get a picture of it. I changed the exposure of it so you can see the carving better on the maple branch. Now I am going to experiment with the aspen log I got.
