Seems to be working just fine to me, he's looking pretty nice already - I guess the problem with the grain may be from using the flat ended chisel to work into your curves around the legs and arm holes? I've got a couple of "(" shaped ones you're welcome to try out if you want. Get yourself a cheap rubber mallet too, so you're hitting your chisels with bit more surface area.
I have met the guy that makes those "wood spirits" I think, but can't remember who he was?
