Default A Few New Carvings

Finally had enough time to set down and finish a couple of carvings I had started, the first one is a knife handle I made out of a knife blade blank, think I will buy them from here on out already made out of basswood, I am going to use this as a door prize at the Hickory Show. and the second one is a knife guard, hope you enjoy them.
