Default Fish-Wolf Peachseeds carvings

Seeing how Im now a CEO{Come Eats Onions} This morning thought Id carved a few more peach seeds.Both are 3/4 X 1 inch Stained to bring out the high lights then a oil applied which will protect the raw dried seed and later dry with a nice finish.

The Fish is mounted on half of a shell/seed I had and sanded fat.The part I dislike is while carving a peach seed, you hit some of the open grains in the seed which changes what you was wanting a item to be in the seed.

Your thoughts or comments are always welcome.

That is just unreal. So small but so darned good.

You are messing with my head. How do you even hang onto something that small in order to carve it?

Hello my friend,
I see you done went and done it again.
Beautiful work. Love them both. The detail on the wolf is awesome.
What kind of "oil" did you put on them? Them pits do get under your skin, don't they?

Both are great! I think I like this wolf better than the full-bodied ones you have been carving.

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