Good on ya, Sneaky! You're certainly the better man here!

As much as criticism is welcomed by newbies like you and I, there's a difference between the helpful advice and constructive criticism offered by many of the more experienced carvers out there, and the just plain bitchiness offered by TeaKEY. Well done Sneaky for not taking the bait and lowering yourself to TeaKEY's level!
I enjoy viewing any new carvings you post on this site, and reading the comments on your thread proves I'm not the only one.
I think your carvings are endowed with a lot of character, and even though you're new to carving like me, I can tell they're only gonna get better and better!
Keep up the carving and the posting!

Tipua,

Thanks,

your stone carvings were very inspirational. I've still got to finish that pipe. Maybe it will get cri-teakeyed now. It looks a little chewed so far as well.
I read that soapstone and Catlinite i.e. pipestone are comparable hardness/carve wise.

Finkdaddy,

Thanks,

Maybe I'll post pix again after a bit of improvement. I thought the last piece was a step up but see now that perhaps it was bigger but not better.
