A continuation of was going to make

Making the fountain pen holders. I cropped the pictures so they don't have as much background and not so busy.

The two started as these

And became these.

I only used polyurethane on them. I was worried about the bark coming off and some point and it still may, but as for now the polyurethane works just fine. It darkened the wood a bit. Its interesting and it is my first attempt in real live edges.
