I hope carving isn’t dead yet! Show him where you stash the carving chisels and let him have at it. Then start him a profile. Looks like a lumberjock in the making. Thanks for sharing

Allways great to see skills being passed on.

Great start as a carver.

Scrappy

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

and just when you think they aren’t watching :)

Looks great. Almost like you found it in a cave as an artifact. Be sure to post the next one so we can see it.

Good job…. maybe he will be interested in coming with you to the group on Tuesday. It changed my thought process and made me realize its not as difficult as it seems.
Oh btw the spoon is looking better too.

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

Accomplishment is addictive. When you do something like that, you want to do it again. It’s great that he was curious and gave it a try. You may find you have to share tool time with him in the future.

It’s in the blood but kudos to you for the introduction part. I once heard that ” Its not what the boy did to the wood but what the wood did to the boy.”.....Blkcherry

Very cool! Get him some Osage Orange to make a bow or shaft. The process of learning about the different woods will intrigue him too.

And Hey, don’t forget to teach your daughters how to do this stuff!

Very cool, good luck it makes a man proud to have a son take up his interests.

That’s awesome!! And I agree, carving is NOT dead. 2 of my projects are carvings too, though I’m just beginning. Tell him to keep up the good work!!
