Wolf cut from a pattern by Gill, thanks Gill, it's cut using a No.1 FDSR blade from a piece of 1/4 inch mahogany salvaged from an old wardrobe. The size is 10" by 8" and finished with Chestnut hard wax oil thinned down a little and backed with black paper.

The ones I make for the wife are 4" to 4 1/2" long and 1/4" in dia. with the neck at the top (where the thread is wound) 1" long and 1/8th in dia. Don't forget to put a hole (I use a 1mm bit) at the bottom so it can be spangled. As to how many well it can be anything from a pair to hundreds, the...
