Hopefully this wasn’t pure beginners luck and I’ll be able to carve a match. I only need two so there is hope.
The wood is Pacific Madrone, which tries to rip itself apart as it drys (and I thought apple was bad) but is pretty pleasant to carve.
That piece of leather on the left, loaded with “green grit” is real handy for quick strop when changing tools.

Very impressive work!
Thank you! I’ve very much a newbie to this type of carving (mostly spoons) so it is nice to hear encouragement!
