Ron,
That is pretty good.
I have known carvers with 20-20 vision who couldn't do that well.

Ron,
Great job!
Remember that Hi_Ho won't even show his face, so the better looking part coming from him doesn't mean a thing! the good news is my Momma and your Momma think the two of us are as pretty as a new born calf!
You're carving is great! I'd trim a few pounds off me in a self-portrait too!
Wade
p.s. I'm sorting that wood pile on 2/6 and 2/7, if you or anyone else want to come to FL I'll send you home with a load of lumber and a belly-full of fish!
Wade
