This is a small carving in basswood of a shell on sand. Finished in the following order: 1 coat of BLO, 1 coat of walnut gelstain, and 3 coats of spray on clear matte emamel.
My wife is a member of a message board which does an ornament exchange each year. The requirement is that the ornament be handmade by the participant or purchased from a local artist.
The recipient is a woman who enjoys collecting seashells, so I hope she also likes having a “seashell” on her Christmas tree.
Sorry for the poor quality pictures I was in a rush to mail it out.

I love it! It’s precious. Simple design, well excecuted, not too busy. It looks like one of the amonite shells I installed in my bathroom: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/10620
