Had a basswood tree fall in our field and had to get it out of the way for the plow. After cutting on it I decided to try carving something, and this is what came out. Thinking about making him a hat or something to cover that stumpy head. Should of left it raw, but it was so white I decided to paint some features for contrast. I had ordered my knife from “deepwoodsventures” for spoon carving. And I guess I have carved a couple of spoons so far!

You have put the fallen tree to good use other than the fire place.
After my first carving I was hooked and love it still.
Very good job….I hope to see many more.

Kevin,
I started carving about 5 months ago and I love it. GREAT job on your first carving. You have a talent for it. Find a carving club to hang out with and keep it up.
