Thanks, Dave

The last acorn looks good to me too, but maybe use a rasp or a file to texture the top
Oh and if it were me, I'd get rid of the background & just make a loop out of the stem!

Boro Work
Starting playing around with some of my Northstar boro the other day, ended up with some new keepers  . The tree was my first try at real sculptural work, and the turtle was a tube implosion, my second try, hope you guys like them.
