Default Two Ballerinas
Well, I posted one of these the other day and I liked it so I thought since I have 2 ten year old Grand daughters I ought to have one for each of them. Besides, I wanted to see if I could do as good a job on another one. Although they are not exact, I thought they came out pretty close. What do you think?

Grandpa your the greatest and those girls will love those treasures for ever. My grandsons have more of my carvings than you can imagine and will remember me when I am long gone. Great work.

Very nice!

But why would you want them the same? Are your grand daughters the same?

I wanted them the same because they are the same age and even though they are great buddies they are also very competitive with each other. Don't want one to feel slighted. Also I wanted to see how close I could come to duplicating them.
