Hello and welcome aboard Schooner. Looking at your carvings, the one piece of advice that I can give you is: keep up the good work. I think you have a great beginning and will only improve with practice.

Hey Mark

Thank You.

Coming from a pro like you really mades me feel there's still hope for me as a carver.

Maybe, just maybe in a couple hundered years I can at least come up to your classic style.

Thanks again Mark
GOD BLESS

Schooner,
Far from a pro here but your carvings are all very nice. Carving and painting are very good.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

Hi Schooner, those are some real neat carvings. My advice (I am far from being a pro) would be to keep up the great carving and keep posting pictures for the rest of us to see.
