Default Poll: What would you rather carve

Periodically we will be posting online polls to better serve our carving audience. This is a new feature that is included in the new message board. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks,
Bob

I "voted" for the mermaid. I need to improve on carving women. I can do a pretty good old woman, but young attractive one's give me trouble.....There's a joke in there, but I'll let it go for now!

I would not care to carve any of them.I like mostly caricatures people.I find too much pressure carving realistic stuff.My type of carving I find more relaxing. Just my opion.

Default Re: Poll: What would you rather carve

Well.... I didn't vote. I am really hesitant to say it, but I had to look up the word "griffin" to find out what it is. Okay, so it's a winged animal with the head of an eagle and body of a lion. And, even I know that a mermaid is the head of a beautiful woman and the body of a fish. That leaves a unicorn, a horse with a cork screw coming out of his forehead.

I would have a problem carving any one of those six components, let alone those combinations. Soooo.....
