The learning curve for carving, at least my learning curve, is steep. These are numbers 51, 52 and 53. The Leprechaun is the second one of those I have tried, the little farmer guy is the second “person” attempt and the penguin, well, it is another going off to some unsuspecting victim. There were a few weeks this winter that I could not carve, darn pain in the hands! Then there was the sticking a knife into my palm and that did not help either. However, gradually, working on these is therapeutic. The two figures are the first that the legs are separated and the shoes (on the farmer) actually look a bit like shoes. So, I take progress where it occurs. Staring on another two people figures and something easier as well. I like to carve more than one at a time.
