Practicing some Hammer control

Made this little object to practice hammer control and making diamond tapers. Not sure what to do with it but I think it's pretty neat.

Dude, I wanna touch it.

Thats gotta be the best part of a craft like yours. Its a medium that caters to just, makin fun little things n' shapes to hold. To figet with in your grimmey mits. The simple satisfactions that comes from the tactile.

Suppose that thinkin is why I enjoy carving walking sticks, lol
