Tropical fish

[Intarsiaplans]

Made a tropical fish this week...It is curved over it's body and thinner near the tail. The fin in the middle sticks out a bit for the more 3d effect....again my own design...25 cm overall length and a triangle hook in the back for hanging purposes.
Woods used are Oak, Ash, Cherry and Iroko.

Nice work Danny.
Would like to see a more prominent eye though.

Hmmm....just had a other opinions of the neighbours plus the ones from other forums i do think i am gonna do some pyrography to make an eye using the natural grain wave in the wood....but now i think no...don't do it and make another one without a wave in the grain and do some pyrograpy on that one.
See what looks better....once it's there you just can't erase it like a tattoo.
