Well done WC! I think this would look killer in a dark color too. Love the hands. Would love to know how you separated those three guys. Very carefully, right? :lol:

First Time!!?? Where have you been hiding?

WC
Will carve posted on 04/29/2012

Thanks Hilda,
My Moko looks like my hand writing, chicken scratch.
Just for the record.
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.

I'm lovin it will carve. Takes a lotta time.

WC
Will carve posted on 04/30/2012

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.

Nicely done Will...that's pretty rad.

I've thought about doing some panel-type stuff for the walls lately. This is good stuff!

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!
