These are two I did today, it would have been three but as I neared the final cut out the wood split in two. I am getting more confident now at doing this type of scroll saw work.

Ebony is a black wood though it is hard to find and very expensive. For round eyes l have taken pieces of dowel and rounded them on a sanding wheel. When I get the shape that I want I stain them with ebony stain.
