carving hair

Thanks Monk,

Some of my earlier pieces looked more like brains leaking out than hair, but practice makes better (perfect ain't gonna happen).

These are very good carvings Joe, especially for a guy who uses his hands the wrong way. Anyone would be proud to own them. Keep up the excellent work. I guess chisels don't mind if you are left handed.

Great looking coins. They appear to have a nice patina to them too!

Wrong way hands?

I use my hands the wrong way? I seem to remember a hammer and chisel guy giving me some instruction and I "mirrored" whatever he showed me. The hardest part was finding the left handed hammer and optivisors.
