Marts, i,m affraid to my shame that i did'nt use a knife, but cheated and used a dremmel type tool to make them. I am my own worst enemy as i start with good intentions by saying that i'm going to take my time and carve such things with a knife, then lovingly sand it by hand but i get into the shed and its b****r it wheres the dremmel,to impatient and wanting to get to the see the end product ASAP
.Terrible i know!!!
Woodwalker, the eyes are quite simple,they are just beeswax mixed 50/50 with charcoal. I made eye sockets then warmed the wax up to make it pliable and pushed it into the sockets,next wipe off the excess and your left with nice round eyes.
