Sycamore priest

This is a priest made from sycamore (I think).  I cut this in between drives one shoot.  I haven't worked with much sycamore but I found that it was quite easy to work and it has cured to quite a hard finish.  You can see from the pictures that I have loaded the head with molten lead.  This was just to give it more of a whack which makes it a more efficient "despatcher".  This accompanied me on many shoots and came in quite handy.
