hello folks
here are two new pieces- one was made a few weeks ago and carved/textured today- the other was made today and will dry out over the next week or so.
sorry the pics aren't great as it was dark by the time i left the workshop so i've had to use artificial light.
both forms are about 6" wide by 5 or 6" tall

Fabulous work Cornucopia!!!:way2go::clap::clap::clap::clap:

I like the balance you have between the wonderful timber and the work you have done with it. The second reminds ma of a sea urchin.
