Nicely done. Leaving the eyes blank seems to add more character.

Why don't you its quite addictive I find a 3mm V chisel the main tool with the knife for facial carving.

Flexcut pocket jack is my weapon of choice.

I was looking at one of them would you recommend it for general whittling?

 

[mountainm]

Definitely. Love mine.

I bet it's addictive! I have the tools and materials, so I really don't have any excuse for not giving it a try

Whittling got me into forging. I got sick of buying tools and ended up making my own so you never know where it will take you.

Give up your day job...those are cracking
Great expressions in them from some deep carving that the likes of me shy away from.

Rob.

Thanks! I doubt these would pay the mortgage...

I carve deep because I make mistakes. You can't put the wood back!

Once again great job! Often the case that unplanned cut turns out better than your original thought.

Thanks again. Wouldn't have started had it not been for seeing your gnarly bunch.
