I think you are taking on to much of a project for your first.....you will get frustrated and give up carving. Do something a little more eaiser to start with.

Yes, that is exactly how I am beginning to see it.
I finished my frog and it came out could but a little boxy.
Practice will make perfect though.
Thanks for your comments!

IF the pictures upload, hope you can see what I mean.

Sweet!
