I carved this with an Old Timer pocket knife out of a single limb I found in my backyard. It’s a continuous chain, with a box and a free ball within it.
I found this little chip of wood and decided it needed a face. It’s only about 3-4 inches tall.
I have a huge collection of fossils, shells, rocks, and other natural artifacts. I also had an old shitty table with particleboard insets.

It’s not exactly well built or anything. But I’m pretty pleased with it for someone who hasn’t a clue what he’s doing.
