Very nice. By the aging on the wood, it looks like you've been working on this one for many months. Nice. I like the small work you've added to the headdress.
Are you going to continue picking at it or are you ready to finish up?

That's a great first carve. Welcome aboard. I thought the same thing as KTD, but then reread the name.

keep up the good work

That came out cool! Excellent for first one out. I'd love to know what kind of wood it was. I'd experiment with it, maybe try some different stains, and 2-tone it maybe. Fun, aint it?
