Happy Halloween all, And thanks for the great comments and compliments, they are good motivation.
Tucson Tiki, here's a Pic of my Hookknive and two other tools i use for the small work. I read about it from Benzart, who shows there are some mean and sharp types around. He also had warned about these B#st@rds having a taste for fingers and sting badly. Of course i had to find out the bad way how that feels. So if you are gonna use one of these, use a protective glove on the hand holding the project. Or else earn your first carvers medal, having a scar to show for all the hard work you put in. :)

Benzart, Thanks for the comments, i have read a lot of your postings on carving and they are a great help for first timers. I will try and find a hookknive shaped like yours, it looks useful.

Here's a pic of the pendant after staining and adding some beads.
