My masterpiece

So I thought I'd just post the pics up here rather than one at a time on other sites! Here is the wax seal I made for my friend Liam for his 21st birthday! His initials are LJM, which is what the stamp says once it's been reversed into wax.

Wrapped in leather

The unveiling! A beautiful handle of Wattle, hand carved on the lathe. Also like, chisel carved. My hands are not hard or sharp enough for this.

In traditional wax seals the handle is substantially smaller, half the size of this one, but I decided to go all out, looks nice and snazzy.

A close up of the symbol on the end of the stamp, which measures 2cm across. I originally intended to carve it in myself, but that turned out to look horrible, so I had it sent away on some ebay store, which did custom jobbies, and it looks awesome.

Which when stamped into wax, comes out with this symbol!

AWESOME.
