St Francis

[JoeVM]

This carving of St Francis is 7 1/2 inches tall. All the pieces are carved from Myrtle wood. I found Mrytle very hard and not easy to carve.

Nicely done Joe! Myrtle runs 1200 to 1300+ on the janka hardness scale. you did are good job with it.

Joe, It looks like it was worth the effort. The grain really shows off your work.

One thing about that hardwood, is it holds detail well, which your carving is a prime example, great job

Wow, Joe! Fantastic carving!

[Dark Lightning]

Nice! Someone gave me a piece of myrtle wood. Probably because it's so hard to carve.

[Eddy-Smiles]

Great carving! So much detail in spite of your difficulty!

Thanks Randy. I guess that puts it around the same as oak and that's about what I thought.
