| Re: Hello from Il. Hello Ron, I know it's an old joke but here it goes. The best way to carve faces is to remove all the wood that don't look like face. Sorry i couldn't help it. One thing I learned with faces is because of all the little details, be sure your tools are very sharp. Strop them good before you do the details. There are some very good books to help also. Welcome aboard and good luck!

| Re: Hello from Il. Hello and welcome, as Joy suggested take a read of this forum Wood Carving Tutorials - Woodcarving Illustrated Message Board then how about showing us some of your carvings. If you need help just ask also contribute too. Another suggestion is the Carver Gallery Main Index - Wood Carving Illustrated Photo Gallery Kathy

| Re: Hello from Il. Welcome! Don't we all? I'll third Joy's suggestion. Plenty of good material buried in the archives.
