l cut myself shaving once does that count

if yer didn't cut yer finger orf yer can still count

here is the photo of the repaired leg in the pic its hard to see the changes

on the question about can anyone carve seems to me some people carve like their painting by numbers (you know who you are)

trying to post a pic off my tolls but to big in size

nice nz have never tried that type of carving give us a quick run down how you do it

and is a toll

being from nz the only carving i know is maroi style have piced up more now days i got a dergree in maroi arts did bone carving for i bit but not my thing

the pic frame was free hand with a V
ford one was for a m8
now after moveing to sydney and meeting new people that carve i got the bug bad

as a kid allways had a pen in my hand drawing
when i was 12 i went to my granddads and sean his carving and that was it i was hooked
him being english and showing me there style of carving and growing up around maroi m8s and seeing there work i now have respect for everyone that carves

sry spelling is bad cant help it

dragon is the same as a m8 has tattooed on him

look l will say this strait from the top you are more patients than i

you said that you done few other pieces are they the same style
sorry l know nothing about the technical side of carving like 3D

as for the spelling mate l think l hold that prize around here(download spell check it help a lot)
