Mark,there is nothing easy about carving or wood burning. You did a fine piece and most of all you have persistance to improve. That's one thing we all can do. Mark great piece and keep on creating. Welcome to Lumberjocks!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great carving. I'm still learning too. Looking forward to seeing more of your carvings.

Great carving! Wood burning is pretty hard to do well. Especially on hard wood.

I think he looks pretty nice. A challenging project! I can't really tell how his beak/bill came out. You could always carve one separately and glue it in (maybe use a steel rod connector?). Wood burning a little around his mask might make his "mask" stand out more and complement his eyes. Keep it up and have fun! I think I would put the moon in behind him (upper left)-just an idea. Everyone's got ideas… : ) You could always just carve a crescent and set it on top and see what you think!
