Re: Christmas Ornaments

Well, you got the easy part done···now how do you decide which to give to who. When I carve for our six kids, I decide when I start a piece to whom it's going a put a small initial on the bottom. great job on them all. . .JoeB

Re: Christmas Ornaments

Thanks all for the comments, Joe, I let my Wife chose, that way all I have to do is carve them.

Re: Christmas Ornaments

You can tell from a style of carving who carved what, and I would know these are yours for sure Mark. Nicely done.

Re: Christmas Ornaments

Great ornaments Mark ! I'm considering putting myself up for adoption if that's what your family members get from you for Christmas........
Thanks for sharing and a Merry Christmas to you and your family

Re: Christmas Ornaments

Mark, your carvings just keep getting better. Love the flow of the beards and the bushy eyebrows. These make the perfect gift.

Re: Christmas Ornaments

Those are adorable, Mark. Should I start watching the mail to see when mine comes? We're all family here, right?

Your family members will be very lucky to get any one of them. Question: Is the beard pierced or just deeply undercut? Good touch.

Re: Christmas Ornaments

Thanks everyone, Donna, their isn't any of the beards pierced, I take and apply a thinned wash of raw umber in every wrinkle in the hat, beard, and the bottom of the mustache, I tend not to add any shadowing wash around the face.I take and cut a deep knife slice and then apply wash.
