Nice shape! It reminds me of Moroccan or other African forms. And the burnished strong sculptural facets add to that "African" quality. Apple is fantstic-hoping to get some shortly from my landscape gardener friend
I know what you mean about "copying" another form....
You're not the first to mention that this design has an African quality Mr Dazzler. My French friend Magali (who makes exquisite Laguiole knives)noticed the same thing. Yes, I guess you're both right. I love making them, it's quite a challenge. Thank you for your support... J

Outstanding work and a great tutorial, many thanks for writing up and sharing it.

I agree with your sentiment that the final piece has to come from your heart and not simply be a copy.

Aye, it's amazing what the brain takes from ones surroundings and stores. I guess the trick is to learn to access ones internal design map.
I'm still learning how to do it I must admit. Thank you for commenting Stringmaker... J
