Default Woodspirit
This woodspirit is carved from an oak 4x4 I found, I still have a little bit to do,I have to sand it so it looks a little more smooth, but I'm proud of it.

Hi Alex,
You're doin' great! It looks almost identical to my first Spirit, keep at it and remember that each thing you carve is unique.

Thank you Dan,
Each thing I carve is unique usually because I forget what I'm doing!
