Default Five on a nickel

Every day at the diner in town I whittle/carve a little wizard while having coffee. Someone asked how many can you carve and fit on a nickel. I took the challenge. The first photo is five wizards on a nickel, second is 7 on a quarter. I am trying to talk myself into going for seven on a nickel. Hey, it's for a free cup of coffee.

Wow! So I guess if you got a splinter while carving, you'd be pulling a wizard out of your finger, lol. Nice work.

Wow Tom,

That is some fine detail.
Keep up the amazing work!
Heck I'd drive down to Delaware and buy you a cup of coffee to see eight!

If a fella could talk the wizards to do some acrobatics, as small as you're doing, twenty might be possible

Thanks for sharing!
Doug
