| | My first try at carving. Don't laugh to hard This is my first try. Don't laugh too hard. I wish it would have shown better in the pic. Tomorrow when the sun is up again I will repost a pic. I liked how the color turned out on the body. the fins not so much. I guess that is what practice is for.
I hope the next one turns out better. |
