How old are you anyway (if you don't mind me asking)? I didn't start carving until my mid-20s, and then only made a piece or two a year. I only got into it seriously when I turned 30 (I had sort of a mid-life crisis 20 years early) and it took almost another 5 years after that to go full-time. I guess what I'm saying is that if you're as young as you look you've got a great head start on a lot of people, and have a long and promising future of carving ahead of you.
