    I don't do a lot of carving and have always wanted to try this idea. It's a bad photo but I enjoyed the learning experience.

    That is another beauty Bob. You did a great job of carving. Well done.

    Bob - That's an excellent bit of work, very nice bit of artistic carving, I'm sure you go on to turn out many more after this one, well done for such a nice piece.

    Very nice. It looks like you just folded the wood over onto itself.

    Real nice Bob, I bought the carving tools after buying Trent Bosch's DVD's but havent tried carving yet.
    Once I get the basics down i'll give it a try.( IF I ever get the "basics of turning" down) lol

    Nice job.

    That is seriously pretty, Bob! Beautiful, smooth curvature. Maybe should do a little more carving. Please show us more of your work.

    Am curious what you think is wrong with the picture?
