I knew you were laying in the weeds!
Those are awesome.
You maybe could have gone a little tighter on the twist, but what you came out with has a really unique appearance to it!
Beautiful job on the stag and the walrus "thing". (Poor little fella).
Two winners if you ask me.

Dan its etched on.

Lin I don't know if my work is ready for close ups!! LOL
   :eek:  
Guys a friend gave me the machine to put the stamp on.I sent to Cal.for stamp thing.Its a design they put on pool sticks with my name in it.And as you can see Lin didn't get finger nail polish perfect.

Dana the handle is Oosic (walrus penus)
