Thanks Ben, and everyone for da kind words.

Those first ones ( about 15 or so total ) I just look at the log and get a vision
for what is there and then freehand carve with an arbor tech carbide bit. I would be in such a hurry to finish, I got to the point where I could turn one out in about 6-8 hrs total.(but I had poor detail work and no finish)
Only using the arbor tech my detail was 1 dimensional.
After looking aroung here for a while, I have dedicated myself to better quality stuff by :
learning more techniques,
being patient,
planning things out better,
adding tools to my arsenal,
and sanding(ugh) and & finishing.
