Attached are my first attempts at an owl and a wolf, (that became a red fox!) I added the small piece of oak pedestal they are sitting on. The eyes are the weakest (hardest) part of my carvings to date. Since these pieces I have been practicing eyes on scrap laying around here. Leaving a mound in the socket on the small diameter pieces required for walking sticks takes much practice for me and patience!
As a new carver its exciting to bring something out of a piece of wood and it never ceases to amaze me that I actually created it, know what I mean? Until I retired I never tried to do anything artsy. After getting home from the job there was never time to do anything but catch up on the household chores. I should have retired 30 years ago!
