Default from a past WCI issue

Was able to put these in the scanner all from a past WCI issue except for the tie clip which kitaye gave us. I don't know the wood for the tie clip for the three elfin trees it is purpleheart walnut and something from a curved bowl I found. The dragon is cherry and the tie clip is a real hard wood . Need to hunt up earth magnets now . The wife claimed all but the tie clip.

Those look great, Bob! I like the finish. Did you scroll saw the piercings or do them the hard way?

This time I scrolled sawed the piercings. I just got the holiday issue this week-end and I May do the spoon without using a scroll saw but it will most likely be a one time thing. New subscription is why its so late. Thanks for the compliment

Those look pretty good. The tie clip looks almost iridescent. Let me know if you figure out what wood it is from. BTW, Lee Valley carries the magnets.
