    Default Another insert, a bit out of the usual.

    I was digging through carving blanks and found a little basswood practice blank which is the same size as most pen blanks. My mind went haywire and this is what I came up with.

    It is basswood with a wood spirit carved into the top side of the seat. The color comes from a wash of burnt umber and brown with a polyurethane finish. PacBay A5 hardware.

    Wood Spirit???? I thought it was William Lee Golden from the Oak Ridge Boys.



    Nice work as usual Kevin, you could be on to something. Think you can do a decent facsimile of Elvis?

    I love it. It should have a name. It's kind of spooky but in a friendly way. (did that make sense?)
    Thanks Old Man GO IRISH!
