That's very nice

Very nice indeed. The handle top (and rest of it) are very symetrical. Nice lines.

 

[Two Socks]

Nice carving! I really like the lines in the handle. Pretty grain too.

That is absolutely brilliant! How much practice did it take you to get results like that? I have been carving for about 6 months and my best efforts still look like they were carved by my dog! I'm not impatient just interested to know .

Lovely carving

Thanks everyone

How much practice did it take you to get results like that?.

I'm actually quite new to carving myself, having started only a couple of years ago, and consider myself to be a complete novice, but I am getting better with time.
Since I do it purely for the enjoyment, I take as much time as I want, without feeling rushed, so slow and careful is what works for me.

Monster ladle. At least you get a decent portion with that thing. Great bit of carving.

Looks good, think you are right about taking it slow. If you are carving for enjoyment there is no need to hurry.
