Update 2 on the viking bust I'm carving from basswood. Added some hair structure and texture. Now need to work on the ears and refining the hair. Eyes need to be carved and nose shaped.

Viking bust I'm currently carving out of basswood, how's it looking folks?

I have recently been commissioned to carve some characters from a 1980s cartoon called David the Gnome, the customer is delighted with my efforts so I'd like to show them off and get some feedback!

Miniature Santa wood carving finished, and painted. Stands about 2.5in x 1in. Really feel like I'm beginning to understand angles and carving in the 3D, not just flat plane. Let me know what you think!

Little wooden viking carved from basswood, unfinished as it hasn't been oiled or sanded. Particularly happy with the horned helmet as prior efforts have resulted in the wood fracturing. Loosely based on Hagar the horrible cartoon character ))
