nearly done

A little more filing, getting a mold made, and then it is complete.

careful....

ooh, careful...

This is my third attempt at carving these very tiny oars.  I have broken the last two, they were too small and I was not delicate enough with them.  This third time I started in a different way - so far so good.  I also drove to Albuquerque yesterday and invested in some new tools, so hopefully that will help.  The goal is to get them completed by Monday and off to the caster.
