Good morning to all, since today is Easter I wanted to honor the tradition, but is not chocolate, jujube wood that has impressed me for the color and hardness, Iwanted to leave the natural cracks and I'm done with acrylic spray, I hope youlike it, Happy Easter and thanks to all of the attention :)
P.S. : I decided to leave the foot but later I changed my mind is the chapter I have to bring out the shape sorry for my bad English :(

Looks a lot like our juniper/cedar, but apparently it is much, much harder wood. Very nice!

This is the tree, grows very slowly and makes these sweet fruits, the plant fromwhich I have got the wood was about 60 years old and standing dead for no apparent reason, in the past farmers used this wood to make tools workbecause it is very hard

Very cool! I didn't realize it was a hollow form until about the 5th picture. LOVE the colors.

Humty Dumpty is a childhood rhyme character.

Beautiful egg! It always amazes me what can be hiding in a piece of wood. It's always a surprise. Just like the ants that were apparently hiding the piece I did last week. I thought I had a catch in the wood until I felt something biting and stinging me. I looked down and I was covered in ants and they were not at all happy about being evicted!
