My Ladies First carving

You’re right- She is a Keeper!!!

Beautiful Work!

I’m afraid of any women that can handle sharp tools, but she did do a very nice carving.
Keeper, but sleep with one eye open.

Bentlyj, I already do. LOL

She’s good. Nice balance and design. Beautiful, Great start.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Pat, she used gouges, straight chisels, and a utility knife to make the stop cuts. Thanks everyone for the comments

Maybe she could teach you how to do that too. Just don’t piss her off in the shop. :-) Nice work definitely a keeper

-- There is no such thing as a mistake. Its called a design modification Rick Kruse, Grand Rapids, MI

Give her our congratulations on her first try. She did a fantastic job.

Well , your in trouble. And she does jewelry too? Just wait for her to start making you a nose ring to hook a leash to, and her next project becomes a dog house, then you know your #2. She did great, looking forward to seeing more of her work. You’ll be posting less, as now you have more housekeeping chores, so she can be in the shop.

Well if thats her first carving she did a very good job, ppl in my carving group would be jelouse.
Congrats on the first try and we will be waiting to see whats next.
Thanks for the post.

-- Can't never could do anything, to try is to advance.

THAT’S impressive!! Not only good carving but excellent design. Yep, keep’er.

Beats my 2 panels with leaves. I need to post them. but they pale in comparison.

-- Measure once cut twice....oh wait....ooops.

My wife and I golf, the close as she gets to wood is a 3 wood. great job ,I want to see more

Some things you just can’t teach and her talent is quite evident. Great first carving and can’t wait to see more.

Hard to believe this is her first carving.Nice job and nice detail.

-- Dustygirl..Hastings,Ontario.. How much wood can 1 gal chuck if 1 gal can't cut wood?

I agree with dustygirl…......... that is a fantastic carving for her first one. Keeper?.................you bet

1st?? amazing.
if it was by a highly experienced carver it would be amazing.!

tell #1 that she did good

YOUR LADY DEFINITELY HAS TALENT KEITH.

In all fairness I think she should join and have her own LJ postings then you can both be # 1. Also we won’t have to read so much sour grapes. The lady has real talent and this is very impressive.

-- RTB. "dumb animals are not stupid they simply can't talk "

RTB I think she likes the sour grapes comments. LOL. I’m not sure she’s interested in joining so next time I post her project I won’t talk about her like she’s a goddess, but to clear the air right now she just may be. LOL. Anyhow, she’s going to be good at it and has started a new one that is quite a bit more complicated then this one. Anyhow, thanks for all the comments, she appreciates it and I got to gloat. I’ll keep it down from now on.

Quite an amazing first carving! Was it hard maple? That’s tough stuff to carve! Can’t wait to see more.

You’re a lucky man! She did a great job. She’s going to have to get her own Lumberjock site to showcase future work. Keep up the great work.

-- Don't tell her I'm in the shop!

very nice she is a startling discovery there could be money in the girl if she was properly managedLOLAlistair
