Idle hands are the Devil's playground... maybe. Seems I won't know. This is some recent whittlin'. Shown against the pot of a Vage LN.

I rough cut most of the pieces with a 1/4" bandsaw, then used a bunch of files and modelling knives and shaped a bit with a 3" belt-sander. Finished with artist's acrlyics.
The banjo pot started out a puck for a nok-hockey board. But the wood was too thick. It stayed on my workbench for a year (or two) until I needed to make a banjo for a Borrower.
