Some Woodwork

Persimmon
The pattern is from a memory of a small owl's chest that someone I knew from childhood rescued.


Also Persimmon (my preferred wood, very hard, they used to make golf driver heads out of it... still may. You can also add texture with playing with the inner layer of bark. It is readily available in Central FL and a great wood.)
He lives in Wales and paid for the shipping. I have never sold a staff, I give them to friends. The owl was made for a lady I did not know, mother of someone one a site who had knee and hip surgery, she needed it.
