There are 2 skills that I wish that I had (but don't)... carving like that is one of them and the ability to fix engines/motors is the other.

I can learn to fix a motor, but I don't think you could ever excel at carving without some innate talent that I do not possess.

Great job, very impressive.


Just happy to be here.

Holy Moly!! That’s incredible! I can’t believe the kind of talent that comes from people on here whether it’s drawing or painting, carving old men faces out of trees, making traps out of ivory, hooping beavers, and I’m over here like hey I just made a cup of black coffee.

You obviously love what you are doing.
It's shows in your artwork.
You may profess to be a novice.
But you created a wonderful rendition , that everyone can relate to.
Thx for sharing.

Very nice work

I guess they are going to sell tickets as a raffle the night of the reunion. The girls in my class are in charge of all that. Thank you all for the kind words, glad you like the carving.

I'D guess you would be better off auctioning off to people who know how much work and effort goes into it..... then donate the money to the reunion....... lol.

That fish looks like it could swim away..

You are a liar! There is no way that is not a real fish.
(I find the above rash statement I just made more plausible, in my mind, than to actually admit that it is even possible to make a fish like that out of anything, let alone wood!)
If you indeed made that fish out of wood, I apologize. I still can't believe it, however.
