Patience  -  Spider Conch

I'm not entirely sure this is the correct name for these little shells, but I very nearly called this one "Hateful Bastard".  The most problematic thing I've ever put a chisel to. But, after some months of making time here and there, it's finished. This one is not for sale as it was made specifically for my darling bride after Old Abode went to a new home. The medium was camphor wood again, using an end piece left over from the twin pennant masks. Total size is 280mm long and around 100mm in circumference including those damn spines.
