These are some of my carvings. This is my first time using a light box to photograph my work.

WOW! My brother used to do that many, now, many, many years ago. Seems like a whole other life. I like the way you carved the second face out of the log and left the rest natural. Great job. What is the time frame for creating one of these? How many real hours of work, if you don't mind me asking?

You are truly an artist. Great.

I envy you with the talent to carve. They are both very nice. I try but don't come close.

Time verys with the wood. but it is not a long as most people think. The og face was about 6 hours work. The santa was more like 15 or so hours. Once you learn some basic on shapes and getting rid of the waist can go quickly. Detail is where the time is taken up.

I have always liked those carvings and admire anyone who can complete them.
