Pretty darn good for your first ones, looks like you are on the right track. Just remember Carve Deeper, Deep detail is Better detail. |

Great rich warm colors in those, is that just the lighting, or are they really that color? What kind of wood, and stain? |

part of it may be the lighting , but I used a stain/varnish on top that has a nice rich tobacco to it . |

Nice stuff!! What is the size on these? I dont think there is anything wrong with creating as you go along... Thats how I do most of my carvings, BUT it is probably a good idea~ Once again, great work! |

The coloring is very unique on these 2 pieces, I Love the splotchy black and the shine is cool too. |

salvaged the frame from a goodwill store and added the leopard ,It does suit it so I couldn't pass it up .There was another great wood frame from Mexico but it was a little steep and I didn't want the beauty of the frame to overpower the art inside it ! lol ,thanks for the encouraging words! |

Awesome work man. What tools are you using? What type of wood gives you that thick grain? The closeups look like a piece of beach wood that has eroded over time, its amazing. I'd love to have that look in some of my future pieces - any tips? |
