Hi One, Nice job and you should be proud of it. I done that piece also and my Daughter pot a piece of Blue Glass behind it to resemble water. I have it in my Galery if you would like to see it. Merle

I think it looks good. I, too, seen it in the mag and want to eventually try it. I have too many plans that I want to do before I get there. So many plans and not enough time. LOL! Keep up the good work.

You are correct. I almost gave it up then one day I found Relief. I gave up on wood spirts and santa. I just could not get the face correct. Sharon no problem I will keep carving. especially after the Grand support you have provided Bill
