Hello forum,

It has been a bit, and I wanted to display something I finished recently. This is a valet tray I tooled a traditional Hawaiian design on it; a good friend of mine drew the design for me. It's not perfect, but it was a definite learning curve. It is surprisingly hard to translate a complete 2D drawing, into something with a 3D feel. Lemme know what you guys think, critiques, changes, etc. I'll take them all.

Stunning craftsmanship...l like that you chose a rectangular shape rather than the typical square layout...and the button studs for the corners are a nice touch.

Have a great day!

Looks fantastic. Carving straight lines and curves is one one of the toughest things to do (at least for me). Minimizing the coloring is really good to. I like my coffee to taste lake coffee and my leather to look like leather.

Absolutely love it.  Well executed and unique pattern.  Does that style have a name?  For some reason it makes me want to travel to Fiji or Tahiti or somewhere like that...
