The whittler

From this....


.....to this.

And there is still more to go. Endless re-shaping, taking a step back to see if I'm really seeing it properly, or am I just turning it into a Toucan? Hard not to get caught up in the details, got to remember the over-all shape I am after.

Nearly finished. Wading through drifts of leather dust and small shavings.

Drinking: Swedish bitters, Verjuice and mineral water. That's as hard as I get folks.
