I love this little fellow!
He did however test me somewhat and I feel I might have gone a bit too small in the stock size for a beginner.
Lots of pinched cuts that had me scratching my head.
----------------------
I got an insight into Flat Plane Carving from reading the first chapter of Mr Refsal's fantastic book last night. It is my new Bible, no blasphemy intended.
As I see it Flat Plane Carving is :- A style of carving that is attainable by a peasant (yup that would be me alright) using only an Axe and a Knife.
With the above in mind my carving just got simpler because I have been going overboard in removing knife marks and wasting so much time.
Later Folks.
