Great lookin Christmas Ornament Mark. Is it flat on the back, or all the way "in the round". Did you carve it on the "corner"?

I took a 3"x3" block and split down the middle and ended up with 2 -triangle shapes and then carved it on the corner.So it is flat on the back.

Yup, Dave be right, An outstanding ornament! Facial carving sets it off. Really like it and the way you carved the eyes.
I am still working on eyes

Really beautiful job, Mark. I love the facial features. Do you have a tree covered with these at Christmas? Great piece of work.
