Hi guys -

Sorry, no carving since the palaoa but all clear this afternoon (once Ive finished replying to you lot!) :)

Blowfish: Thanks. They are an intriguing form for sure. Anyone happen to know what they represent/are derived from..?

BenZ: The Box of 80 had a big cleanout a month or two back & now only contains about 8 pieces. I time-capsuled the rest simply to get them out of my sight so they stop torturing me.. I shudder to think how many hours/days/weeks worth of work I hid away but sometimes you just have to let go..

pDrake/G/Blow/anyone else who might be interested: I probably will offer this one up once its finished, but theres still a good few hours left to go yet - and then the binding..

Sebas: thanks for your kind words and for adding that link - might make that binding job a little easier actually, as I see there are simpler, beaded bidings on there too.. Although something tells me I should at least attempt the multi-strand version first (a "continuous square-sectioned 8-ply braid of human hair, folded 457 times each side" is apparently the way..!!??) Hmmm, maybe not.. :o

G: Can I get back to work now? Well..? :wink:
