Hello everyone,
Here is a new woodspirit I am working on. I am showing 3 carvers here how I carve faces and this is the peice I am carving to demonstrate.
Thanks for looking and for the comments!

He seems so angelic with that outline of bark around his face, like a religious carving of Moses with a glowing light around him. Great detail. I will be thrilled to watch your tutorial on carving such a fine face. I hope you are posting the process on our board.

Great job Gary! I would love to see how you carve the beards on your woodspirit face. Let me know if you have any hints or suggestions!

nice job Gary
How big is that piece? much potential for the finished eyes. at this point,
I would make some marks with a lead pecil until I found an expression
that I like, then cut a line with a veiner.
Just a suggestion.....

GMc, Ya out done yourself. Mighty fine looking bark spirit. Realy nice, I like the eyes and the flow of the hair and beard. Job well done.

Gary,

Very beautiful, love the way you left the bark border and used the whole length of the piece, great layout job as well as your carving ability, perfect look. Bill
