thanks ben, it's a quarter.

yeah, i'm trying to keep the lines straighter. it seems tough with the smaller pieces in the tight spots. that hook is a piece of padouk. it has a tight a grain, but can get soft in places. it's also pretty dry and brittle. it might not be the best choice for this piece. i might start over with something else. i have other ideas for the jade chips i have sitting around.
