Thanks Tikifille & Chiki. I'll have to keep practicing as I'm still getting a feel for the chisels as well as what to cut and what to keep. I hope to one day be able to carve as good as you guys.

LS - Yes, the cuts you see are basically just my guidelines. I intended to go deeper and more defined with my cuts after I roughed it out but when I screwed up in a couple of places, I actually thought about chucking the log in the trash bin. I decided to try and save it instead but didn't want to waste the time on the detail since the mistakes weren't salvagable.

I'm going to try a new one sometime soon. I have some big logs that need to be skinned first. Tikifille, I got your email awhile back for some logs (pine). I had my buddy hold about a dozen 3-4 footers with 16 inch diameters. Email me at [email protected] and we'll work out the details - if you still want some of 'em. I'm in the 909 (Chino Hills) but my buddy lives in Chino, CA - he's got the logs.
