whilst avoiding seasonal madness, I kept my carving tools busy:)

two standard size-ish and one monster ! and another still in-the-works
The one on the right has a recess taylored to my thumb! a new idea maybe? who knows but it works.

and thanks to someone's advice, the best way to keep the wood from drying out is to use clingfilm and keep cool if possible. ( I know- :rolleyes:cling-film is the anti-christ of bushcraft but needs must when the devil drives:D)

thanks for kind comments- much appreciated
yes- the wood is cherry for all of them- sorry I do not know it's Latin name, perhaps Prunus xxxxx something? :dunno: it is the one that makes no fruit but pink flowers around April.May
Does anyone know the correct name ?
made with FGYT (aka Duncan's) wee marvels crook knives amongst other tools (like a TK6 etc)
