This may somewhat resemble an anchor, but it weighs almost nothing. The real reason I call this piece an anchor is because it sort of blends in. This is one of my better knotholes, not only because I busted ass to make it the best I could, but because it doesn't stick out. Some of my work is... "gaudy as hell," as one of my colleagues so kindly put it. Now, I'm not usually a subtle man, so this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. That's one of the reasons I spent all this time making a series of knothole jewelry. I was seeing where I could go in the small, subtle area of scrap-vulturing... and yes, "vulture" can be a verb when I use it.
