Much better Mark. I see the wood grain and details. I will need to try carving a small wooden figure one of these weekends.

My eyes aren't as bad as I thought. I looked at that post yesterday and never did find a buffalo. Someone else was talking about what your buffalo looked like and I thought I was going blind. I can see it good today and it is an excellent job. Thanks for reposting.

Mark, great work. Thanks for the second posting, your carvings are well worth a close-up for us to see.

That bull does appear to be at "the moment of truth" with his mind (head-but) zeroed in on something or someone!!

If that's beginner's work then you're definitely off to a great start. Really nice work Mark!! Thanks for sharing this.

Mark, that nice work. Lots of form and detail. The Butternut is a beautiful wood to work and gave you great results. Well done.

Bob
