Four Link Whittled Whimsy Chain amateur a member of a familyA simple but sweetly done whimsy chain with nice long links carved from one piece of wood, and a pretty old one I believe. I really like ones like this where you viscerally feel the hand of the maker whittling away; just perfectly imperfect. 8 3 4" l x 1 5 16" w x 3 8" thick and in very good condition, with no cracks or splits or any other flaws of note that I can see.
