Thumbs up Hey Bill ' THANKS '

Hi Bill V

Actually Bill I was planning on a fancy High Society type of Penguin with Top Hat,Cane. But this is my first try and I'm kinda pleased so-far.

I'm still learning.
Thanks again
Happy Holidays

Hey Schooner; Thats a great little Penguin . . .you did a great job with such a small little guy! I like to work small sometimes. It is much easier to use an Exacto with a #11 blade when you do small carvings. The nice thing about the Exacto's is that when the blade gets dull u just pop it out and pop in a new one. When you are just beginning it is also nice not to have to fret about sharpening and stropping your knives to keep them sharp. I hope and pray that you had a great Christmas and the New Year will bring prosperity and blessings to you. Keep on whittlin' and don't give up. You're doing great! God Bless you Bubba.

Thumbs up Carving This Penguin Only With A CARPET KNIFE

Hi Poppa Tom

Believe it or not I used only a KOBALT BOX CUTTING Knife. Just wanted to see if I could do that without a carving knife touching the penguin.

I really suprised myself

I got some pretty BIG MITS (HANDS) so first I said preyer and let the my boss upstairs take control. And HE brought my through again.


Now 4 the painting ~

More 2 come film @ 11 . . . lol

Happy Holiday
