Hi J. and thanks for the words.

Basswood is a real cool wood not only because we can relatively easily find it: it looks darker than usual woods and is kind of soft to carve contrary to Oak ( chêne :wink: ). I first carved some cherry wood with the chainsaw last week end and the result was awful but the grain of cherry wood is pretty cool dark redish, I don't know if you know cherry wood but if you come to Paris, I'll give you some :wink:

Eye update:

... And mouth too !

Mahalo,

Benjamin.
