Mark, I always enjoy seeing your carvings--your faces are always so expressive. That pumpkin looks like someone I know...hummmm, that is some fine carving on that knife handle. Have fun at the fall festival!

Great character faces. The pumpkin is a great idea for a fall festival. I have saved you Santa as a "go by" to practice my faces. It has the kind of warm expression I think a Santa should have.

Mark, I like these. The expressions are great, the carving is clean, and finish is superb. Fess up you finish up your carvings with a sprinkle of magic saw dust....Tom H

Wish I was going to the festival so I could snap up one of these----I wouldn't care which one! All 3 are terrific, as usual, Mark. Your expressions are priceless. Carving and painting both are terrific on them. I wish I had your skill level. Bonnie
