 Re: Hi Ash, You did it right. That's a very good start - well, 4th try. I like the design. Some of my early work in Cedar went into the closet - where it couldn't be seen! Cedar is a little tough for a beginner to do relief carving because it has a tendancy to splinter. Just keep your tools sharp and spend a little time on the background to make it "cleaner". I'm impressed - good job. Keep up the work and let us see your progress. Mitch  |

| Re: Hi Thanks guys! Will see about cleaning it up. I used only a knife on it, hope to get a starters carving set soon. ... still buttering up the wife  . Also did my first carving in black walnut! Fantastic wood to work with! Glad I saved that old walnut tree we cut 7 years ago. And a guy that I work with just cut down 2, seems I am getting them both! They should be dry before I finish the first. Ash |

| Re: Hi Ashby, Beautiful Dragon! Can hardly wait to see what you can do with a good set of tools! Check out rick-in-seattle's website. He's got the best and I believe at the best prices! AND he'll talk you through the selection process so you get what you need, not just start a collection of tools. Wade |

| Re: Hi Well, Looks like I convinced the wife. muhahaaa . I added a mountian background to the eagle and carved a walnut stand for it with a frontal head of an eagle on the base. I finished the base and set it to dry. Was very pleased with it. The information you gave was great and I kept it very clean. I would give you a pic of it , but seems it grew legs and disapeared. Not sure who took it yet , but the list is getting shorter. LOL . When I find it will try and get a pic of it finished . Ash |
