Started a new piece today

Here is a teaser photo. Hope to have it done in a few weeks but may not be able to show photos for a while. If it comes out as good as I hope I'll enter it into a competition and really shouldn't show the photos until I hear back one way or the other. Oh well, back to work.

O these are Osage Orange. I needed a good hard wood that will hold detail. Unfortunately the grain may give me a problem and I may have to switch to a wood like Bradford pear or holly or something very smooth but hard.

John, if you want some mountain mahogany, let me know. Curious about what you are making.

It's a secret- at least for now.

Dogwood, dogwood! Hard, dense, tough, will hold fine detail, can glue.

I started to use the dogwood today. If I have time tomorrow I'll try the dogwood and some bradford pear and see what works.
