Oh, that's a beauty for sure. How'd you find carving beech? Was the wood seasoned?

Thank you . I found a length full of burls on the shore at Amroth, it was still very green. I found it a lot softer to carve than I expected

Amroth you say, very nice part of the world that. So it's not dried out yet? No sign of splitting too. You have to be very happy with it.

Lovely mate.
Lot of hard work has been out into that you should be very proud of it. Well done

That's extraordinarily good for a first one, very nice indeed.

That's really nice. Got a closer pic of the m.o.p. inlay? It looks like a letter 'C' on it. Cheers

That looks lovely, nice work. what did you use for the cord and bead?

Very nice work indeed, all the more impressive for it being your first one

Lovely piece! Good job. Looks like a pro did it. Your first, but hopefully not your last.

That's beautiful. Not many Amroth kuksas around that's for sure. Well done!
