Thanks for your answers,great to get some fresh ideas. I will keep trying, And yes, I have certainly seen it as a crucifix too, but it was not what I had in mind when I worked on the branch.It is fascinating with that kind of wood that you have to follow the natural form,cause it has such strong "personality" of its own, so you have to just entice it out to be born. I made some more that summer, but it hurted my wrists so bad that now I cannot work with carving anymore. Thank God for my computer :-)
