Question New Netsuke (maybe my best carving??)
I tried carving a cherry tree Ryusa Netsuke the other day and it didnt look right at all so had to do another one because it was bugging me. This time got it just how i had pictured it in my head.
Its carved from a solid medallion of rock maple and measures 11/2" in diameter x 1/2" thick. I stained it with leather dye and finished with bees wax.
I think its one of the best things i've carved......Would like to know what everyone else thinks of it.

Great carving, fly fisher, and amazing detail. I find your carving nothing short of amazing. You must have very steady hands. I tried a carving almost that small, and made nothing but a mess. LOL!

Excellent carving. As for your best piece? To me it is to hard to judge, as I really like a lot of the things you have carved.
