Default Very First Carving...ever!

Well here it is my very first ever Carving attempt. Wife has already said it has to go on the tree, (I was going to put a way and make a better one for the tree). First picture is the start and then the almost finished paint on the Santa.

Ken, Very good first carving. Very good any time/number carving. And yes I can tell it was your first...Not by the carving but by the condition of your glove. No holes, slices, or blood stains... Keep up the good work. Tom H
