Smile Blurple Stalker Hand Carved
This was my first attempt at a hand carved. I kind of started a little backwards but it still came out good in the end.

The hook hangers are made kind of like paper clips out of 308 stainless and the though wire passes through them and then all holes were sealed with epoxy and smother out with filler. This was done after sealing the wood with waterlox. The lip is made out of a piece of hard plastic I had in the garage. I shaped just like the one on the small bomber.
