My thoughts are....I also believe you keep a guitar under your desk at work.
And....It is good to have those special rocks where ever you put them.
They seem to complete something, but I am not sure just what it is.

Nice design and color on that one.

Really nice spokeshave! It looks like the opposite straight side was used as a knife too. Looks like a durable material that would keep an edge. I have found a similar material, but is white in color.




The one on the right has patina and lichen still on it.
