Infinite Mahogany

This piece is intended to be a necklace pendant. I was inspired by a Tongan carving that I saw when I visited Maui. It's carved form a single piece of mahogany. I had intended for it to be the symbol for infinity but you would have to hang it side-ways for it to be accurate. Otherwise it's a figure eight. This is my first dive into three dimensional carving, I hope to make more pieces like this. Maybe I'll try some more complicated knot configurations; something Celtic perhaps.
