carving something that small is fun. the next challenge is to carve even smaller.A guy in our club carved a small man just under 3/4 of an inch.

Have a look at some Forest's (tnartist) work if you really want to see small, a whole train out of a match stick! Nice work Alex. Yep, earrings are the way to go for them if you want to sell them I reckon. Joe.

Thanks John, me too but the bad thing is if you put it down and look away they get lost in the wood chips!
