Default #PeachSeed Cabin#

Taken a break today while listen to the football games. Ive only carved one peach seed before but thought Id try another one.

Its a old mtn cabin,hard to see in my photos but it has 2 windows on each side of the bldg and 2 windows in the front of the cabin and a open door. Mounted it on a old small chunk of drift wood I had just laying on my desk. Course had to make it a front porch with two post{pieces of tooth picks}

Its 5/8 X 1 inch tall.

Your thoughts or comments are always welcome.

Forrest

Forrest,

E Gads! That's cool. You have to "splain" what tools you use to achieve that from a peach pit. I doubt you used your best detail knife.

Attention fellow carvers. Being as its Christmas, what do ya say we all send Forrest some dang wood so he can carve something we can see. I feal so bad that he has to resort to carving peach pits and whatever else can find in a dumpster and can't afford some decent sized pieces of wood. By the way Forrest, the peach pit looks pretty dang good, but hang on there buddy, we're here to help.
