Default WOODCOCK CARVING

Just finished this woodcock carving. My own pattern. Thought I would like to redeem myself after posting the picture or my Bare. :-[ Hopefully this one is a little better.

Thanks for your compliments. *I was embarassed to show my carvings when I first started carving, but found out that if you don't show them to people, you don't sell them. My old fathers favourite expression, 'If you don't advertise your business, the sheriff will' *:-[ I see some beautiful work *through the links on this site. Very talented carvers. I feel like a thorn among the roses.

I have looked at your site and see nothing to be embarrassed about, unless of course you are still carving 'bare'! lol :

Link to a picture of one of my first carvings. Worked hard on this decoy. Its been fun, lots of improvements to make yet. I'll keep trying, until they come to carry me away. Any one else got a photo of their early efforts??

Hugh, great carving of the woodcock (timber doodle). I used to hunt these little guys in the fall every year as they make the treck south they usually stay over a few days feeding on a special worm that they use that big beak to dig out of the ground. You sure have come a long way since your first carving it is nice to see. Again great job on the woodcock I will take a photo of my first carving and post it. I hope everyone does the same it will be great to see how far people have come. This should make for a great topic I will post it on the general carving board.
Colin
