Thanks for posting updates Dileon, we are on the road camping, but with today's technologies we are able to see what is going on in your part of the world. Unlike the poor souls on the big island, we are on a small island campground off the east coast of New Brunswick, Canada.
stay safe, and...

Well done , as Joe said " no critique " From me either. I do like the fact that you named the colours and combination of colours you used in painting these carvings, something I wished more carvers did.

Lots of variations possible with Tom's style of carving a face, and who knows maybe Santa is a "Biker Dude" on his days off.........

I'm not going to comment on your carvings Rodster ('cause they're better than mine ..).... but you mention pain in your right hand. I'm presuming that you are right handed and that is the hand you hold your knife in....? If so, I suggest you get in touch with Tom Ellis and try to get one of his "golf...

This guy's father wanted him to stay in school and get an education, so he's working on his "phd".......(Piled Higher 'n Deeper )..

Looks like that fellow would be the life of the party, no matter if it was a hoe-down, barn-dance or an old fashion kitchen party.

Well Joe, I grew up within spitting distance of the ocean and can even now stand on my back doorstep and throw a rock into the north Atlantic Ocean. I say you've done a fine job on that ship (and water) even though that particular model of ship was long gone before I was born............. I say,...WELL...

Very true indeed;... a few years back I wanted to join in on the annual ornament exchange here on the forum, but postage cost in Canada are unbelievably high. Tom told me to bundle them up and ship them to him and he would re-mail them to the individual members from his address. It was a saving of more...

Tom is responsible for a lot of us getting started. I was on my way to a camping trip in 2008 when I picked up my first copy of Woodcarving Illustrated (# 43) just for something to do in case we encountered any inclement weather. And as they say "The rest is history"........

Great job Claude!.... you said you used a 3 " piece of wood, you didn't say how many band-aids were used in carving something this small and detailed....

Looks like you've managed to sneak in a bit of carving time between summer chores... Great carvings and I notice one of your comfortable carving knives in the background. Those grips are the best!
