Yew Shells for Shell Cottage

[Bart]

Carved these for one of the follies at work which is currently being restored, it’s not finished yet but put the shells in yesterday. There carved from a Yew that blew down not far from the cottage. It’s called shell cottage because the interior walls were slowly covered in shells by many generations of the family.

A bit in awe of the work to be honest Bart.
