| | Finish 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.

| | Re: Finish 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.

| | Re: Finish 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. |
