Great detail on the little fellow...well done, and no blood on the apron.

He is a cutie!

He's pretty cute and he's not very tall.
You provided great detail in a carving so small.

I like his mustache, his cap and the bushy eyebrow.
As for carving his eyes, I'd like a few comments on how?

All in all a great carving, I'll award you a plaque.
For the nice wooden figure, finished in wax.

Another good one! Curious, what is the wood and what knife do you use to do your details? Beside sharp

Thank you , . I am working on a e-booklet, which will cover tthe Technics and include the beeswax recipe too. However, I can share with you beeswax recipe., which is quite simple.

I use 150 gr beeswax,

500 gr olive oil (pure olive oil, to get a clear beeswax)

Boil these together and pour into a jar for it to set.

Good luck
