Good job! One on the right reminds me of old man winter and the middle one looks like someone up to no good or maybe even the cowardly lion. Either way, they are nice.

I think you've done a fantastic job. I have made a few failed attempts at faces, I wish I had your flair!

The Rodo carves very smooth...real sweet. I enjoyed it and had no complications, no tear outs etc. You'll be glad you did.
