Default Oh no look what I created

I recieved a phone call tonight from my grandson he told me to check my email. Yesterday afternoon I went to his house and carved him a upchuck pumkin he had asked me to do.
So this evening he got himself a pumpkin and this is what he created. I had no idea he was doing this but obviously he had paid close attention to me when I was carving yesterday. Yes Rick that is the beginner set that I got for him last Christmas. I told his mother to make sure he cleaned up his tools really well. He must have the makings of a good carver because she informed me he already had. Notice the carving glove, he is smarter than his grandfather he has never seen me wear one.

Colin,
That is one very patient boy.
Those tools are very small for such a big job.

You are blessed to have a grandson with an interest in carving.

Congratulations on having such an influence on your grandson. Of course, it's easy to motivate a young boy to make something gross.

Well done Grandpa. You have inspired another! It is so nice to see the next generation picking up the tools of their ancestors and honouring them this way.
He obviously thinks highly of you Colin ......though we wonder why!
You old County Mountie you!!!! Beating up them poor pumpkins and carving faces in the poor trees that are just standing around!!! LOL
