Default Haida Beaver With Paint
I decided to give him a paint job. In retrospect I wish I went with a lighter color for his eye shadow but overall I'm fairly pleased with my first carving.

Totem, for a first carving you couldn't ask for better. The paint job really sets it off, too. Keep up the good work.

there is a toll section on the very first page of the message board, it is towards the bottom
Once you click into it, you will see a post new thread button in the top left corner.
Good luck!

Great job Totem! I think he would make an awesome hair pin!
