Default Sound Off---Whatcha Carving Now????

I'm still working on the greenman....and I'm offering it up for a critique in the next issue...I'm also carving a dozen or so little hearts for my wife...I'm going to carve in little messages off conversation hearts and give them all to her with a dozen roses for V-day.

I'm also in the process of making a rack system for my gouges...so they are up off my bench, so I'll stop cutting myself on them when I reach between two or three and so I can see my workbench.

My thumb!

Also carving a cowboy boot from Lynn's blogsight.

At work, on days that I don't go for a walk at lunch, I'm working on a ball in cage.

I took a female carving off the shelf that I did some time ago. I'm reshaping her face and jaw line hoping to make her more feminine looking. I'm also doing another large woodspirit on request from a past customer. Hoping to add leaves for the hair so I'm following Marks thread on leaves closely.

I'm carving the "leaf project" that Mark is making look so much better, and a box commission with a Viking ship with two dolphins jumping out of the water.
The maiden got put on hold again.
