Default New Carving From First Class

I took my first class this last weekend and here is what I carved. The instructor was Stu Martin and he mainly concentrated on faces. I was real happy with the class and the results. Let me know what you think.

He is supposed to be an Apache.

Hello Ron, He IS an Apache! A very well done one at that. I'd say your class was very good.

Great job Ron. He has some strong bone structure in his face and you gave him an intense look in the eyes. Like how you incorporated the stand into the carving.
