    My latest sgian

    Here's my latest effort. I cant recall the timber I used (I have too much lying around the shed!) but it's commonly used here in Australia for parquetry floors.
    Hope you like it:

    I like the curve to the handle. It looks like it would feel just right sitting in one's hand.

    Nice work

    Cheers

    Nice tone to the wood; beautiful in its simplicity.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.
