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.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

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)
