I'm proud of ya son.

You've come into your own way of doing woodspirits...and they are all very nice. You must be going through some sand paper as your faces always look so smooth. Each WS seems to have a different look so your taking your risk early in your carvings, that's a good idea - this way you won't get too comfortable and you will keep trying new approaches. Keep those carvings coming.
