Thanks! Been at this 6 weeks now and I have spent more time in my garage than I have at work. People were right when they said carving gets in your blood.

> carving gets in your blood

You're doing okay so long as you're not getting too much blood on your carvings.

That's really something for only six weeks. I've been at it for over six months and haven't completed anything so refined. Some of us have more difficulty with artistic things than others, I guess. Good thing I'm just doing this for fun!

Nice looking first projects, Finger. Nice wood spirits, but I really like the two relief carvings. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.
