Hopefully managed to up load these photos! two are ones I want to shape/whittle the Handles into something! cant work out what so any suggestions from my friends on here gratefully received!

ps sorry I didnt put two pics up the right way!
One pic is my Seasoning stick store, and my dear Wife bundled them up tidily and stuck Tape on the Bark!
last one is a Twistie I had hoped was Blackthorn, but am leaning towards Hawthorn now

The right one looks to have a natural horse to it.
I hate the left one's shape, I have had several of those and usually either 'knob' them and cut off the 'wings' or pick one side and cut the other off, that said maybe you can get a trout out of it like this one (His site might be down)

Wow, Im impressed with the photo re adjustment! lol

Blimey thanks for the ideas! The thicker one I was thinking a Head, was going to try some sort of Wood Spirit effort, but my Aussie mate Dougies put the idea of a Dragon in my Head!
The other more difficult but I did think of a Fish.
Please keep the ideas coming!
cheers

Well the one on the left made me think of a trumpet and my first thought on the one on the right looked like it could be a dinosaur or horse or dragon.Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.
