In the chips!

Since my last post, I have completed 11 carvings.  Nine of the completed carvings are part of a nativity set.  Mary was the first piece; the angel completed the set.  My skills improve a little with each carving, so I fight the inclination to go back to develop each piece a little further.  I am trying to stick to the rule, that once my name, date and the carving number are added, it is done!

Although these pieces were carved to be a set, experimenting with finishes and wood sizes make them each a little different.
