Default Very first . . .
I never posted these, but today I am being brave. The man was my very first carving, ever. The woman second. The complete carving wasn't done here (then I forgot to take finished pictures) but that is supposed to be a Silkie (chicken) the man is holding. I had one for the woman to and another sitting on a crate. I ended up giving it as a trophy at the Silkie Nationals. The winner liked it

Those are well done....your first you say! Easy to tell you're a natural! Keep at it, the seal is a charming little piece.
