I always disect every error and discrepancy to death. I hand over stuff to customers that I think is riddled with problems and errors. They often gush with praise because they like it and dont see the minutia that I do. but thats just me. If someone posts a crappy carving expecting praise then perhaps they need to evaluate their fellow carvers work to get a better sense of what is good and what is not so good. Its just such a personal perspective... its hard to nail down right wrong good and bad. The best advice is given to a direct and specific question.
