I'm good with being discovered any time, thanks. I'd be fine being called an over night success, & I've been carving all most 10 years.

WC Will carve Tiki Socialite Ft. Lauderdale Fl. Joined: Apr 06, 2011 Posts: 1425	WC Will carve Posted posted on Mon, Apr 30, 2012 4:54 AM I don't normally work on 2 projects at a time no less finish 2 at the same time. Along with my shark tank, at a friends request, I made this for Ken, void of detail. I hoped he'd like it and want to paint it. He did & does. Sooo, first it's up to UPS. then it's up to LLT. Cant wait to see how that goes. ..........

CJ Captain Jack Tiki Socialite Neotsu, OR and Sun City, AZ Joined: May 01, 2010 Posts: 360	CJ Captain Jack Posted posted on Mon, Apr 30, 2012 8:05 AM Cool carve! I started a flat board but am having trouble keeping the non-grain sections from splintering and cracking off ... does that make sense? Maybe I need sharper knives!

One of the biggest things I picked up from Benzart is how to sharpen. I have found that sharpening is a fine craft all on its own. Thats why I prefer the disposable blades! If you can find a class close to (Woodcraft??) where you live its worth the money. A dull chisel is more dangerous than a sharp one - believe it or not. Nicely done Will - I look forward to seeing what LLT does with it!
