just started trying to learn the art of carving. changed the shape of the barrel for a more carver friendly surface. first is osage with a carved duck donated to DU banquet.

second one is purpleheart with an osage band. carved for an auction for the Flyway Foundation. This has one of the local college team logos. I am aware of the copyright legal junk, so this was a one time non-profit deal.
