carving

Pretty good for the first or 20th time.

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Carving is a wonderful skill with which to be gifted. You did well here.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

If that is your first, you’ve got a heck of a natural talent for it!

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Nice job! Keep it up, your doing great.

Excellent, I’d say you should buy some more tools as a reward for doing such a great job.

-- Every cloud has a silver lining

I agree. You just earned yourself a tool day.

-- so much wood, so little time. Bradford.

Great job. I look forward to seeing more carvings from you.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

yeah, pretty good for a first job, keep going, I look forward to seeing further projects.

Very good for a first carving. If you want to get a better look at it, dab on some denatured alcohol.

Then the thing will show if you need anymore carving done to it. Then give it an oil or satin poly finish.

I’ve found that most carvings don’t really show up nice without a finish.

I am impressed. the only thing that keeps me from carving is actually doing it. I need to try it.

-- making sawdust....

this would look reallly cool, painted with layered milk paint and antiqued !

-- ..... art for lifes sake

Nice job!
