    Default 1st Carve

    Messed around with some 25X25 Houn and a carving knife. Got a little blood on the first 2 but the 3rd is scarlet free.

    Lessons
    Create detailed plan (3rd one is ment to be a horse)
    Clean hands (black marks from holding them)

    Will start looking for a simple inexpensive finish for them before I drop them around the house.

    The dog and the priest/monk show real promise, clean lines and simple shapes, well done . The horse is a little clunkier and looks less planned or observed, things dont quite look in the right place like the others do

    Excellent effort for a first go. You could keep going with more detail. Your foundation work on the first two in particular is such that quite a bit more could be done if you want to. Even with just a knife.

    Hope to see some more.
