I thought I would make a place so we all could show what carving and woodworking we are all up to.
Post up your work for all to see and give your opinion both good and bad we can't learn what we are doing wrong if everybody just says oh that looks great we need to have our work criticized so we learn what we are doing wrong.

That's a lot of corn flakes!
But getting a burl that large is a story in itself. From where? How?
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
I made the inner case of cherry from a tree I had to remove from my yard. I then laminated the inlay work to the outside of the case. The inlay is redwood with stripes of black-dyed pear wood and poplar.
I can't compete with Rodger @First_Warrior, but I enjoyed all my time in the shop.
Archy I like you're pieces too, takes a lot of effort to start and learn it, way more than I could ever carve!
One of the most impressive pieces of work that I recall seeing is a carving by a Native American from one of the Northwest tribes. It's a disc ( probably of a variety of cedar) and carved into that disc is a stylized image of Raven with a salmon in its beak. I liked that piece so much that for years I used a photo of it as the wallpaper on my computer monitor.
I think this link may get you to a photo of it:

If if you want to try, just enter everything but the [IMG][/URL] at the end and try that. For some reason, it's really difficult for me to retrieve photos I've saved in Photobucket ....
OOPS!! It DID work! Summagun.....
