Default anniversary ring holder

just finished this ring holder, I guess you could call it, for an anniversary present for my wife. Black walnut, mostly hand-carved, but with some power, and then details carved and burned in for depth and color. Finished with orange oil-beeswax product.

Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks Sharon! My wife's a pretty good gal - she tolerates me and my carvings. ("another duck - where's that one going to go?") I don't know if your 2nd anniversary is the "wood" one, but it's our 2nd! Hope to get away for a day or two.

Thanks again for looking, and your kind words, Sharon.

Mark
