nice job on the elf, really like the color used in the carving.
The eyes look unfinished to me (almost empty). Was this the idea?
Anyway its still a terrific carving

Very nice, I need to try one. I have done a few of the santa's but I can't get the cheeks and eyes to turn out as well as yours. Just have to keep practicing.

Terrific carving, Mark has to be proud that so many have carved Gargac Wizards, Santas and Mountain men. From what I can see the eyes look good I would just add a highlight in each corner of the eyes. Maybe you did and I just can't see them.
