Hi; This is my first carving. I hope my carving skills are better than my computer skills.

Rodger,
It all takes time!
Welcome aboard!

Well done Rogder. I always tell people to keep their first carving. You will be thankful you did many years from now.

That is quite a cute mushroom. How big is it?

[Rodger]

The mushroom is 4'' and it's made out of willow.

Hello and welcome. A+ on your first carving and I really like your choice of wood. Carving and computer skills all come with practice and you have a good start.

Welcome to this site! Great try on your mushroom & good advice to keep the 1st carving if you can. My 1st was a wood chopper than ended up as a golfer. So enjoy the art of carving and let the chips fall where they may.

Hi I'm Joyce and am trying my first carving too. Its a small boot. Had a look at one finished one for a few minutes and now am trying to carve a bit more but I need a pattern or picture of a finished one as I just can't do too much
from imagination. Its just a small low one not a cowboy style. I don't know how to scan it unless I can take a picture later. cheers

Hi Joyce welcome to the site. Working with your imagination is like other skills they get better the more you use them.

Nice job on the mushroom. I look forward to watching as you do/learn more and more.

You did a very good job on your first carving.
