Well done. Great feeling when you sell something, especially as a new carver. It reinforces that you may be doing something that others enjoy too. Some money to buy more tools and wood.

Nothing confirms success more than when somebody wants to pay you for your art and it appears that you have arrived!

Keep it up!
