Well perhaps not so much craft as work. Here are two of my recent creations.
The first is a Rimu walking stick I carved as a Christmas present for a friend who has recently had a knee replacement. It didn't photograph very well so it is difficult to see the spiral carvings that go around the walking stick. I made the initial shape on the lathe and then hand carved the spirals.
The second is the second ever bone carving I have made. The first was also a Celtic cross but I gave that to a friend for a Christmas present. I liked the way it turned out so I made another one. This time I polished the bone a little but I'm not so keen on the way that looks. I think that perhaps I'll have to keep this one for myself.
An occasional series of blogs about life in New Zealand through the eyes of a Dutchman who arrived here in early 1978. This will include personal views and experiences as well as a few photos.
