| | Re: Olive Branch guess i should of told you that the Dove,hand and the thick base is basswood , the thin base is cherry and the staff is diamond willow. the fig branch was made from copper,(10 ga.) the leafs are also made from copper also with a 26 gauge wire vein and all soldered together and primed with auto primer. The whole thing is my idea of Noah and the dove on the Ark.
