So after much debating and second guessing my initial design composition - I finally worked things out and got to carvin’ this beatch :) 

As I tweeted earlier, I failed to sharpen my knives the last time I used them…so I spent an unnecessary amount of time getting them all sharpy again. Once all that was over and done with, I made the first cut. 

ahhhh. siiigh.

I wish I could say that I got a huge portion of the work done in the few hours I was out there - but that’s not the case folks. Carving takes time. It’s a slow methodical process, and it needs to be this way - for safety reasons. These knives are sharp as fuck, and if you aren’t paying attention to what you’re doing, you’re going to cut yourself. Any woodworker or printmaker will tell you: clamp your work, pay attention, and go slow. 

Since I value my little fingers, I pay mucho attention to detail.
