As someone that's pretty new, getting tips on flaws and how to correct them from experienced carvers is an incredible experience, and something I treasure. I do appreciate Ben's way of sugar coating things, as it's always nice to hear good things about what you're doing, but from what I've seen he's able to tell you different ways you can do things, in case you are looking for improvement. Having this forum to get encouragement and tips on improving is the biggest difference between my carving and all my other abandoned hobbies. Without encouragement and ways of learning to improve, I find it very difficult to stick with things.
