Excellent stuff GC and Man what an Awesome shop to have at your disposal and to spend the day in every day. What is your job there, are you a carver? Your small pieces are looking great and even though some are "Old" they have lots of great qualities. But, like you said earlier, you need to slow down a bit and be more mindful of your lines and edges taking the time to refine them will give you a perfection you seek. Al in time, just keep practicing, practicing, practicing. I will say this, I'd hate to be your competitor in a few years because even now you would give many artists a run for the money! :P

Thanks tikipaka and Benz.
I work at the shop everyday after school for two hours just carving whatever i feel like carving but in the peak of the tourist season im usually flat out making small pendants to keep the shelf stocked.Its a great place to work we get heaps of interesting people coming through carving.If your ever comin through NZ Benz come and do a days carving with us :)
