Might be a simple shape but I see a great lot of work that went into that.

Love it!!!
Two great pieces good sire!
A personal preference would be to see the egg on a plain coloured stand.

Very nice work Dennis.
I had to do some quick research on Pernambuco. I've never heard of it before.
Apparently it's normally used for violin bows. I learn something every day here.

Information
Pernambuco is a place in Brazil, to which I have been.
Some pretty good timbers reside there but procurement is extremely difficult.

So I discovered. Initially I searched 'Pernambuco' and came up with the state, so added 'wood' and found the timber, AKA 'Brazilwood'.
