Excellent! Not showing my first, laughing. Your piece confirms to me that I need to work a bit deeper in the piece. Thank you for sharing.

Wow!!! Excellent woodspirit you have going there Rafe. You're a freaking natural. You've not fallen into the usual beginner mistake of not cutting deeply enough. This is going to be a woodspirit to be PROUD of man. You're off to a FLYING start.

Ok, now I'm blushing! Thanks for all the great comments people.

You know, I was worried that I had carved too deep, especially around the eyes
