Default My first attempts
Here are the very first attempts at trying my hand at power carving.

The first thing I did was a simple relief on a small box I made.

Front view



A lid to a larger box I make



And here it is on the box



And finally my first try at scales

Thank you all for the kind words. These were made with a Turbo Carver, Dremel and a few hand tools.

Nice work! With that skill, you should look into carving gun stocks.
