deborah-congratulations on the first place, i was at the show sunday and saw that you had done well.
By the way the picture does not do justice to the actual carving.

Thanks for all the kind words. I am still at the "unsure of myself" stage of carving and these two ribbons have helped me gain a bit of confidence. I am looking at doing either a mountain man or indian head carving next, any suggestion on where to get a good pattern for either?

Again thanks for all the kind words.

Deborah,
Congratulations! Your carvings are excellent and you should not be "unsure of yourself". It was great to see them at the show (pictures do not do them justice!) and great meeting you in person.
Hana & Fred

Way to go there Deborah!!! I loved this carving from when you first posted the WIP shots awhile back. Congratulations on a well deserved win.

Novice my ... (oops - keep it clean). Anyway - sure doesn't look like any of MY novice work. ;-)
