As promised, here is my small elderberry flute. I was playing it, trying to figure out what to burn on it, and my thoughts kept going back to this summer when
I was walking down by the river with my wife and son. We saw a bunch of little dragonflies fluttering around, and that with the sound of the water running over
the rocks, just reminds me of how this flute playes. So here ya go.

I like that you left the knot. The wood burning looks good too. I like it.

Very Nice!
My favorite part of the burn is the cattails. |

Excellent work,wonderful subject.
A true character flute. DragonFlys are the most amazing of creatures. Have you ever watched them doing loop'de'loops, when hunting mosquitos? |

What kind of tool did you use to make the detailed burned drawings.

it was a universal tip for my woodburner. its just a cheap kit i got from walmart, but it has 5 or 6 tips in it.
