Default First carving I've posted

I hope I'm doing this right, first time posting a pic. It's a sign, 9"x14", the KTM is a brand of offroad motorcycle that I ride. The border is supposed to be rocks.

First time posting, not first time carving! Working on a computer is not one of my strong points. Thanks for the compliments tho.

You did a very nice job on the sign. There are a lot of KTM's around here. People would go nuts over a sign like that. As you well know, a very loyal following for those bikes.

Thanks guys. Yea, The following of the orange hoard is like no other. Sometimes when I cut myself, I swear I bleed orange.

BTW, I had tried to carve some tire tracks on a practice piece, but couldn't get the look I wanted.
