I guess you have to keep going up the skill ladder to find out where your level is. Anyway, keep carving, you are doing Great. I wish my first pieces were as good as these!. Here is the knife blade I use the most: http://www.treelineusa.com/cgi-bin/shopper?preadd=action&key=290-0302 And here is the handle for it and various other blades: http://www.treelineusa.com/cgi-bin/shopper?preadd=action&key=290-0501 I get a Lot of my tools there and they are very good at standing behind their products. Tell them Ben from Port Saint Lucie sent you. One suggestion, are you using varnish or poly to coat your pendants? It looks fairly heavy and thick. I usually use lacquer from a spray can, just a few bucks at Home Depot. It dries to touch in a few minutes and goes on in very thin coats. It doesn't end up looking too heavy. Bring on # 4 and # 5, we're waiting.
