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.

All done with a Barlow Knife, I hope ;)

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.
