Default Eggciting Project
Thanks to some eggcellent advice on "best finish for basswood" which I eggamined closely, I went ahead and finished my current project. It is an eggample of a 3-dimensional Celtic knot. I eggshausted all my creative time for the week on this project.
The attached pics show the development of this whittling. I hope you enjoy...it was a fun project.

You are very talented. Looks like all your attention to detail paid off.

Btw: I love the Santa in the background. As you would expect , I look for these kind of things.

My first impression was 'Holy Crap', my second was stunned silence. I'm in awe, and prolly a little jealous of weekly alottment of creative time.
