That looks great Tim. Having not done much carving I'd have ate it first.

Sharp tools and the right timber, are the main starting in my opinion. You cant do anything well without these two things.
And then plenty of practice in learning the proper use of each individual tool.

Then practice, practice, and then more practice. I think getting to grips with the proper use of the tools is the key thing

I took a carving class about 2 years ago but the tutor spent more time talking to the people he knew than show me anything. I must post a photo of the mirror I carved

Next time you are in my neck of the woods, call in for a cuppa and a chat:)

might be able to give you a few pointers
