You have a great start there Dreamweaver. Definitely captured some of the characteristics of the Native American Indian. His nose has a good arc and the jaw line is well done. You did more than alright in your "first try".

Just think of the next 25 years of carving you have to look forward to. So many things to try , so little time in one lifetime.
