Default Some more fish

Here are some more of the fish that I have done in the past. The small unpainted was the first thing that I ever carved if that is what you call taking a dremel to a square block of wood until nothing much is left. The rainbow trout was my 3rd attempt and first painted carving, then I did the catfisf, followd by the crappie and then lastly the bass. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, having a little trouble with the camera.

any comments or suggestions are always welcome.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

Mark I like em!! The crappie is my favor. Your skills of carving fish will improve each time you carve one so keep on doing the nice job you are doing.

Nice work, mark! I like the catfish best. I think your use of simplistic habitat is great.

Claude,
Glad that you liked them. I was afraid that the habitat was too simple after seeing many other carvings of fish.
Now I will have to give it some thought about staying simple or adding a little more complexity. Thanks for your input it is really appreciated.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

Forrest and Dan,
Thanks for your kind thoughts. I like the Crappie myself, but above all the Catfish was the funnest to do. I have done several bluegils, but I don't have any at the present time. It seems I always let someone talk me out of them.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark
