Wizard the 5th

[Larry Marshall]

Three weeks ago I discovered Gene Messer and his videos. Since then I've gone bonkers over carving and am I having fun. I think my wife thinks I'm on drugs with all smiles on my face but she likes the results thus far.

This is my 5th carving, a simple wizard. He's 4 1/2" tall and I'm particularly pleased with this guy, not because he's so great but rather because I had no pattern. I just started with a block of wood and a vision of what a simple wizard looked like. I hope you like him as much as I do.

way to go Larry. Each thumbnail just keeps better and better. Your comments based on experience are helpful as well. Just keep chippin' away.

Thanks, all, for the kind comments. Thanks also for all the help I'm being given as I make this trek up the learning curve. From my vantage it looks like a long way to the top...or even the middle :-)
