That's a great idea Rick, starting with a turning. I also wouldn't have thought to paint the eyes, nose and mouth like that, makes them look real! Thanks for sharing! Deborah

Rick,

All I gotta say is you have just inspired me with my first actual carving project. I was looking at starting a relief with a mallard flying as my first project. But I was worried that I was getting in to deep since I am a newbie. Now if only the tools arrive soon and we will be off ....Thanks for them by the way.

Great project.

But I loved the story even more that goes with it. Hilarious.

Do you charge airfare to China when you have to whittle there?
