Gene, You are definately a flat plane king.

I wish you would write a book with frame by frame photos of how you do them. I seem to be rounding the planes off too much. I watch your You Tube videos and still am having trouble with it.

Gene, that is one of my favorite carvings you have done. Love the cuts you made on this figure, the shaping of the hair etc. I am sure mom's freind will be very pleased!

Gene...mission accomplished....GREAT CARVING! I say again with every respect...you're the master at flat plane! Good clean distinct deep cuts make those carvings so humorous, and this piece is no exception. Wonderful job, as usual! Bonnie
