Hello John! I love the swirls at the end of this piece of wood. They really make the image for me. You might be able to crop a bit away from the right side, but then again, probably not because of the second prong at the top. I could see warming up the wood to bring out some richness although it is drift wood and what you have here probably resembles reality pretty accurately.

I guess you could find a lot of different things in the detailed pattern, but for me the overall shape reminds me of the front half of a fish.

Thanks David and Ola, I too thought of a fish when I started working with this.

Wayne, I guess I made my comments on this one in another category. It looks pretty much the same anyway. It does remind me of a fish, in the shape of it. A nice find.
