| | Re: new...old golfer While it's hard for me to understand how someone could ever get tired of carving  s & Indians I will say you did a great job on that golfer. |

| | Re: new...old golfer Hey Jim,
That old coot looks great ;O)). I think the eyes look fine. In fact the entire carving looks excellent from the finishing to the carving. On really old folks I will slant the eyes even further from inside corner to outside corner and add some wrinkles, especially in the upper eyelids and bags inder eyes.
