My first woodcarving.
Hi,
I started to take woodwork lessons a month ago.
In the course we have two hours each day to practice woodcarving and I decided to make a doll for my girlfriend.
Here are some pictures of this doll, my first woodcarving.
I used some chisels and other tools but I used a knife most of the time.

Looks very good . How big , what wood did you use and how did you hold the piece during carving
I've just become an optimist . Iv'e made a 25 year plan -oopps I've had a few birthdays - better make that a 20 year plan

Good work.....especially for your first project. Is this finished or are you going to add features to the face as well?

Hi, thanks for your comments.
Peter36, I have attached a picture showing its size (around 26 cm). I used pine wood because the teacher didn't want to "waste" any other wood for a beginner. I have been holding it with one hand while carving with a knife with the other hand but sometimes I put it on a workbech, held by the head, to work with chisels or a dremel when I needed to use both hands to hold the tools and do more presure than with only one hand against the other.
Spoon Man, I am still thinking about the face features. I don't know what to do but I know I will tint some parts of the doll with natural tints. Mainly the hair and the dress, leaving the natural color of the wood for the skin.
