This is my new experience in woodworking.I have never carved a small sculpture so far.Here is the result of my work.I hope it looks like snail :)
The snail and the ladybird made of apple.The ladybird carved separately and mounted on the snail surface at the end of the work.
Length is 6 cm, height is 3,5 cm.

Zebrano,
This is beautiful. But come to think about it I say that about all your posts. Maybe you could post some shaving or a rock or something just so I can change my comments. :)
Seriously this is very nice. Both of the carvings are so rich in form and detail. This is impressive, especially given its size. (For those not used to metric measurements the length is 2.4 inches and the height is 1.4 inches.)
Thanks for the post.

Zebrano,
This is excellent work!
Did you chose a snail because that’s the only thing that would hold still long enough for you to carve? LOL
Very good work!

Thanks Scott and toyguy.
But I have to say I`ve spent a lot of time for this snail.It took me about 2-3 days.Because I did not know how I could carve small parts and I saw at my snail from one side and than from another side and thought: “How can I do it?”
