I recently found an old wallet of my Granddads, there are receipts in it from 30 years ago, just before he died. It's a little tatty and that appeals to me. This carving will be a present for my son in a couple of days time.
It's Lime, all from one piece, the only glue used was to repair a crack after I dropped it on the ws floor, there are some thin edges which aren't too robust. The finish is.........boot polish. I regretted it as soon as I painted it on, but it's growing on me. I masked off the 'credit card' and the 'receipts' after painting them with sanding sealer.
Negative comments just as welcome as the other kind, I intend to keep climbing the curve.
Thanks for looking.
