Default My very first attempt
I looked at the wizard on the homepage and decided to try it... I took a piece of scrap cedar that I had from my spoon attempt that turned into a mallet, and this is what I got... Remember... This is my very first EVER attempt... LOL

I would say this is a very very good job for a first carving. Nice job!

Thank you.

The wife (Karen btw for future reference) has already stolen it and put it with her wizard collection and has notified me that I'm not allowed to touch it anymore cause I'll "mess it up"... LOL

I think it still needs work, but alas, the boss has spoken... Head Bange

Agree, that is a nice little wizard, but you know you just can't do one! I've lost count of how many I have carved.
