Olivewood Heart

Front and back sides of an olivewood pendant, about two inches high.

This was another plain hand-made heart that I found in a store, bought, and carved. I did a honeycomb pattern in the front. Each hole is drilled at a different angle so that if continued they would converge at the center of the triskele I carved on the back. Instead, they meet in a single chamber. There is a cord tunnel through the top, at the widest part, not visible in the picture. No staining; all the colors were already there (I love olivewood). I sometimes fill the central chamber of a pendant with absorbant material for use as a pomander, but right now it's empty. Hand-rubbed wax finish.
