Youth carvers

[Doug Ridley]

Here are 3 young beginners who live close and wanted to try their hand at carving. I spent the entire day with them yesterday and the said they had a lot of fun. What they don't realize though is I had more fun than they did.
The other pic is a close-up of their work.

Those little guys are lucky to have you close by and willing to share with them. They did a great job for their first time out and you have them started out properly by doing santas...

My dad always said that he'd rather watch me catch a fish than to catch one himself. That lesson really stuck with me and it seems that you too fully understand what I'm talking about. Great job sharing some quality time with some neighbors!

Good looking bunch of kids and I think I see a strong resemblance... all brothers I'd say?
