Default Ornaments / Spools

It is good to be back. My PC has had "issues" of late.

Here are a few things I have been messing with. I have been making brogans as fast as my knife will allow. These and the little canteens are ornaments that my fellow civil war reenactors are asking for. I had to change up a little though as I was seeing brogans in my sleep. I thought the little spool faces would break it up a might.

The first spool just an old fellow. The second . . . is he a hippie or an Amish gent? I will have to ask him later.

Hey Joe, I'm gettin ready to get out of town for a few days, but before I went, just had to respond to your little pieces and spools. Now I like to carve small, but I'm sloppy. Your small carvings are crisp and neat. It's no wonder that every one wants em. Super stuff you got goin there. Thanks for sharing..Tom H

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.
