Done but not finished

For my first project I think my gnome turned out really well. He's certainly not "finished" but I think its time to put him aside for a while so I don't go crazy trying to make my first carving ever perfect.

Overall I'm happy with him. I don't love the eyes and I didn't really do anything to his hands.

Honestly I think I might just be excited about the bag each of butternut and basswood I got at the niagara woodcarving show on the weekend :)

Let me know what you think, I really appreciate all the feedback I get here and on the forum and especially from my wife who puts up with the wood chips all over the front porch...
