Hey hodadhank, are you living in the paradise? Very nice !!! :)
But the summer in bavaria will come soon!

Yesterday I carved my first keyring pendant.
First I used my dad´s lathe to get the basic form out of an old broomstick and
than I tried to create the figures face.
But my tools are to big for this little tikis and so I can´t worked accurately.
The scalpel, I using for the balsa is not to strong enough for this wood.
For the finish I used beeswax with a little bit oak color.

Now I will looking for some new little carving knives and try it again.
