I wonder if I committed a bushcraft sin LOL...some time back I went out and *gasp* bought a nice piece of Bee-Tree/Linden/Basswood to do some engraving. Well, I guess I could have cut a section from local Bee-Tree, but that would have taken a lot longer because the wood would need to be cured, and finding perfectly seasoned/cured Bee-Tree without defects is not easy...
Anyway, I made several pattern templates over a series of a few months, and it gradually evolved into what you see below, completed last month:
All carved with the finer blade on my Victorinox Huntsman .
