    That looks very good, I need to try some of that one day, they always say find your own "niche", my problem is I have too many "niches".

    I have often wondered why it is that
    Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left".
    "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of
    the fool to the left."

    Very well done! Their image shows up great, I would say you have got the technique figured out. I made a couple of attempts before the conference but did not have the right steps figured out and have not given it a shot since seeing Jo's presentation at the conference.

    I agree with Perry. Need to set a side some time for this type of carving.
    I need to try one of these.
    You did a wonderful carve and finish on the portrait.
    keep sharing your carvings with us.

    Great job!!!
    Happy Carving
