Last year with the GG tricentenry I wanted to do something flowery so I carved the flower swag and then my wife wanted a flower walking stick,start one thing always leads to something else. I used different flowers from Mary's patterns . The swag was carved with White Beech and the walking stick Huon Pine a lovely Tasmanian rare wood they used to make boats out of ,a loverly wood to carve. White Beech is also a nice wood to carve but it can be soft and the grey colour puts some people off.

Very nice work! I've never carved in White Beech, but it looks like you were able to get some very fine details.
Keep up the gooc work!
