Smile Re: A Simple Hillbilly Out Of A Block Of Wood

Your welcome carvedbear for the tutorial ... But it was a lot of fun doing it ..

Iam glad you enjoyed it .. but Iam even more glad you tried it .. I tried to make them as simple as possible because that's the way I would have wanted them ..
If these tutorials can get one person interested in carving .. then they were well worth it ..

Because if a person can start off easy with a project ..It will build their confidence and Then it will only lead to better things and then one day their be teaching all of us others something ..

Glad you enjoyed it .. I have another one planned on carving a golf ball face coming soon ..

God Bless

Gene

He looks good to me. When you resize photos, if you drag on the corner it will resize it proportionately. It is much harder to try to resize by doing one side at a time. Hope that makes sense. Anyway good carving. Are you going to paint him?

Many thanks not going to paint this one will leave him natural. The next one I
think I'll paint him.
