Default A little guy
I was up in Pennsylvania at some friends a couple of weeks ago, and was teaching their 8 year old son how to carve. While he was working on a project I carved the little guy below, based on Gene Messer's tutorial. The point here is that if I can follow Gene's excellent instructions, then anyone can! So, give it a try and post the results here

Thumbs up Re: A little guy
Claude .. I appreciate the comment about instructions .. but I only show how I do it .. your work is your own and great ..

I bet your friends were impressed .. and that 8 year old .. he probably thinks you are a genius right now ..

Great work Claude and dont stop now .. I love seeing your little figures ..

BTY .. I vote paint too ..

Gene
