Hi, This is the first thing that I've done, that I'm not ashamed to show in public. Let me know what you think, and what you think I need to work on.

It looks good. Next is to try something with eyes.

While doing eyes on a practice stick may help, the challenge for a new carver is to make both of the eyes match.

Good luck and remember that patience when carving is rewarded.
