You've got the touch with your blade. Great work!

Finished up this piece of scrap wood today. Haven’t decided what finishing technique to use yet, painted or just sealed.

I would just seal it, that is a fine carving.

Howdy all, just whittled a little mushroom for my second project and then decided to try a face for the first time since the mushroom was so simple. It's not very detailed, and I'd like to improve on the eyes quite a bit. If anyone has any pointers on whittling faces or good books they'd recommend, please let me know!
My first project was a
ball in a cage. Figured I'd post in this thread this time since it seems more appropriate.

Very good! You learn a little more with each one.

Look up Kevin Coats and Van Kelly on YouTube, great videos on faces(Coats doesn’t talk though).

Thanks! I actually watched a Van Kelly video before I did that face. I really like how he breaks it down so easily.

Post us some of you work, this thread as been dead lately(I’m having wrist issues and haven’t whittled in a while).
