Thank you for your kind words
It seems like my wood kind of tells me what it wants to be, then I just
carve off the parts that don't belong.
Sometimes I carve off parts that DO belong, then I have to alter the pattern
to fix it. Seems to work out on it's own though.

I hope to one day develop skills that are good enough to really take pride
in it.

You should certainly give it a try... it's a lot of fun.

When I was very young I did a little leather work. . A three legged stool
and a few belts. I enjoyed it but never really got into it as a hobby.

Thanks. That one on the left was pure luck catching the grain like I did.
I've been quite impressed with the carving you have done. I do a little
leather work which includes some tooling. While I do OK in leather, my
experience trying to carve wood has not been very good. I'm really
impressed with those boxes and they are creating an urge for me to try
again. I might just do it.
