Damn, you are a great coin carver. You come up with very imaginative carvings! If I am half this good when I retire my tools in many years from now I will be a happy camper.
Great job!!

I love it all, but I really appreciate someone who can carve an anatomically correct EAR! So many can't. Super character on the coin.

Great job! The finish is outstanding. I remember movies back in the 50's of giant bees, hornets, horned toads and rabbits caused by all the nuking going on in White Sands. Ants were a common theme as well. Since these giant hornets are in Japan and spreading and they recently had a melt down? Those were really silly movies thinking back-nukes, all you get is death.

Brilliant! And to avoid a one word post, I'll add that you've perfectly capture the look of shock, fear and revulsion in the space of that nickel! Well done.

That looks like the actual size of the hornet that stung me in the head out in the barn when I was a kid. Grandma stopped the pain by applying chewed up cigarette tobacco to it.

Great job, really smooth.
