| | 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.

| | Re: Very First Carving...ever! 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 |

I carved my first piece roughly six years ago, mine hangs up all year, the first one is always a keeper......Yours if very nice too, a keeper for sure, also like your paint job. Welcome to a relaxing hooby thats enjoyed by many of us here. Good luck and looking forward to seeing more carving postings down the road. Bill | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
