Closer inspection I can see the loops on the caps. I also noticed the phone beside them...I didn't realize they were so small.

Thanks to all you people that have had a look see, I appreciate the comments, keep 'em comming.

Patrick, sorry, I should have mentioned in the original post. They started as 3/4 by 6 inch blocks, I cut a bunch before I got laid up so as to have something to do on recuperating. Bear in mind, the hats are 2 1/2 inches so it leaves a small face area to carve. Yes that is the phone, I bought one of those large carver aprons and I've got it thumb tacked on my desk, the wall and the window and when I slip my head in, no chips and momma is happy. Gotta keep peace in the old homestead for sure.

Hey Cliff , Those are great , I'm proud of you.
Yes its important to keep mommy happy cause if you don't then she might lock you and your knives in a closet with no lights and tell you to carve in there. One thing buddy , would really like a picture of you wearing that apron , I'm having trouble forming a mental picture
