Hello Merle,

Wow! What a terrific carving. He seems so "alive." That's something I haven't been able to achieve with my carvings, yet.

Merle,

All I can say is WOW! I can't believe how quickly you turned the "car salesman" out, especially with all that detail. You are really good. I was just looking at your elf yesterday. I guess that's the speed of the internet for you. Now if only some of that "fast" mrubbed off on me. LOL.

Merle, your car salesman just blew me away, what a fantastic carving. It's amazing what can be done to change one carving into another and you sure pulled it off with this one. Great stuff.

Excellent carving Merle. And how fast you managed to carve the other one, another fantastic face! I really like your eyes, they seem to be alive. Also, compliments on your finishing, very, very good.
