Default Faces on the Corner of a Block

I mentioned previously I had a few faces carved on the corner of a block. Have several more, just no pictures yet. The techinque I learned from Pete LeClair at a seminar in DollyWood. Pete is an excellent teacher and says he can carve one of these in about 20 minutes. I would rather not discuss how long it takes me to carve one ;O) so I'll just post and hope you enjoy!

These are very nicely done. A great range,,differences in expression,features,characteristics.No repeats of the same head with a different hat or beard,,,I like that,,and these as well. Good job.

I'd say you have a real talent for those! Well done. The faces are interesting, each with it's own character and expression. Keep up the good work.
