Haven't done any carvings, but tell me about that knife in the 2nd picture.
BTW your carvings are very good. ::tu::

Thanks! The blade one is a Case Seahorse whittler and the white bone handle is a Great Eastern Cutlery pocket carver.

Yesterday afternoon, my trip to the post office produced this item. It was completely unexpected, but VERY much appreciated. It is a hand carved Grinch Christmas ornament. ::tu:: ::tu::
A VERY special thank you goes out to Coley (C-WADE7) for this thoughtful and most generous gift.

Glad you liked it Skip! Here is a pic of some of the ornaments I’ve made the last 2 years. I think the bulk of the Santa’s I’ve made are packed up (we didn’t put a tree up this year because we have 3 kittens who get into everything).

You're right, I was so impressed with the Grinch that I overlooked the angel in the other picture.
Excellent work on all of them.
