Wow, another stunners! Very good job, Turtle!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

That mangrove wood looks pretty cool!

BTW As you live in Prague you should make an appointment with my friend Karel "cosco" Koèi (or Koci). He lives in Prague is a very skilled part time maker :thumbup: and sometimes meets and works with well known smith Petr Dohnal.
