Those are very nice, you did really well for your first carvings. Nice paint job also, I find painting harder then carving.

You are on a roll. I'm sure the family will be fighting over those.

Thanks to all for such kind words! I am open to any feedback, I have thick skin-Retired Navy Master Chief.
I have watched every carving video Gene has posted on you tube, they are amazing! What a great teacher and a whale of a teacher. Thanks Gene!
For my next carving I am thinking about doing a few cartoon characters, starting with Popeye!
Again thanks everyone for such kind remarks.
Bill
