Default Recent reptile carvings

I like to carve as many different kinds of things just to see if I can do it. I recently tried carving an anole lizard. The lizard is from a piece of pecan and gets a lot of attention when people go to ring the doorbell.

That would be funny to see people hesitating to ring your bell. That lizard looks very real.
