Brought some friends

Starting on this thick cedar branch today. Aiming for a spiral handle, but first the shaft. I found a handful of earth friends on the back porch, so I brought them along to hang out.

No name for this one

But I think I'm leaning toward Squidly. The original wood, juniper ashi cedar, is from the Texas Hill County, nestled for years between the sun and the crystalized stones of an ancient lava flow.
