DonR Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 Gator, stay with it. It is a very rewarding hobby. I have been carving for about ten years and really enjoy it. Here is a link to some of my carved stuff if you are interested. www.oldcrowwoodcrafts.webs.com Don R Quote

Clayton717 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 looking good, carving is one thing I've wanted to try, just not brae enough to do it yet. Quote
Nick@tinkers-cove Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Nice work, Gator. It's a bit too nerve-racking for me. Stick with it - it's clear from your early work that your a natural. Quote
