Here's my very latest piece. It's made from basswood and is 14 in. tall, 8 in. wide and 3 1/2 in. thick. As I'm sure you all can see I made it with the help of Jeff Phares book carving a human face.

Wow Dylan! Great job. It is beautiful. The eyes are great, so real with great expression. How long have you been carving? Pardon my question if you are a longtime carver/member here, I'm new so I don't know everyone yet.

Dylan that is fantastic you really did well to follow Jeff's instructions it is a wonderful carving. Having taken one of Jeff Phares courses I know Jeff would give you top marks for that carving. He is a great carver and just amazes you when you watch him carve. Again great job on the native

Great job, there is a lot of detail or expression I should say in that face. The expression on the Natives face is so realistic. Great job on the whole presentation.
