I had a request from a Lamont cousin to carve a strap and buckle so he could have it as a kilt pin. He wanted wood , and he wanted it hand done. So I did one up for him out of paduak, a awesome red and burgundy swirl wood. Heres the pics:


Since I was in "mini" carving mode, I decided to do a couple more from a few other funky grained woods,
I did these two from olive wood that was sent to me from Israel:
FTL knot...by me:

And swirl:


The last one is made from a petrified piece of wood ( as of now I am unsure of the species...I am checking with the person who sent it to me) and was inspired by Ben Franklin:


Thanks for looking.

Those are very nice. It must be quite satisfying to be able to think up a design and then create it in a process that takes so much skill and patience. I would be proud to wear any of those on a kilt.

Those are really nice! Thanks for posting them.

Thanks for the kind words, they are fun to do.

Very nice.

Have you ever carved Osage Orange wood?

Eric, the Lamont pin is excellent!

[Kiltman]

Wow, those really appear to be wonderfully made. Thanks for the pics.

Wow, great job. Those are truely works of art. Do you have a pattern that you start with, or is the pattern all in your mind? I bet those would be good for those here on XMarksTheScot who frequently fly while wearing their kilt in the process of getting through the metal detectors at the airport.

Wow, I wish I was cleaver enough to do that!
