Default From Whittling Little Folk
I am still practicing flat plane carving. These are from Harley Refsal book and I am having a harder time carving them than expected. I have 3 others done and at present I am attempting the police man.
I thought I was uploading a side view of the flat plane carving instead I did a picture of a carving I was playing with from Lynn's pattern. I cannot delete it from this thread. Sorry

Bob, It looks like you are getting that flat plane down pretty good.

Thank You everyone for the nice remarks. I am not unhappy with the results but I still have a ways to go and a lot of improvement is still needed
