made from two book matched 18 " curly red oak boards

he love to come in shop and drive my leg vice
Love it, I always wanted to try carving a small letter or two. Maybe I will give it a whirl, they look fantastic.
You had my admiration at the first photo!! He's a keeper!!
Nice oak. That box says family tradition all the way down into the grain.
i LIKE IT. Good Job.
I like it! Cute little guy too. He looks like a very worthy recipient.
VERY well done and love your carving effort....How many knives were needed to do the carving? Thnks
Thanks Jerry , I am not very familiar with carving tools . I have had a beginner set of Ashley Isles laying around the shop for quite some time , I basically used all six of them along with bench chisels for the outline of the straight lines . Through trial and error the sweeps and skew seemed to work best .
That's really nice work, Granpa.
Thomas, very nice job. I would have to do a lot of practice carving on scrap before laying a tool on that nice chest, really great results for first attempt. You did a good job on the grandson as well, he's a keeper!
