Done but not finished
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...

2D to 3D
Here's a pic of my progress on that same gnome. He now has arms, some hair, and cheeks. This was a good choice for a first project since a gnome is supposed to look a bit silly I can't mess it up too much on matter what I do.

Chess Set
Once I've got my feet wet and learn what I'm doing my first "big" project I think will be a gnome theme set. Here's a peek at my idea for the first pieces. Nice and simple to help with the learning I hope.
