This pic was taken in 2006 when I first began working/carving on (then titled) “Bare Beginnings.” Like most things at that time, I abandoned it and moved on. I have MANY pieces with this same exact sob story. Fortunately for this one, I’m pulling myself up by the boot straps, and gettin’ down to business.
Our then Bare Beginnings is now titled Metamorphosis. Progress pics are coming soon :)
*Disclaimer: This photo was meant to serve as an artistic re-enactment. I DO NOT actually carve this way. It is unsafe, and you will LOSE a finger. Thank you for reading.*

Today I’m hoping to get started on the face and chest of the piece. I kept these parts virgin the entire way through because i had a feeling I was going to change a few things up - and you can’t decide to change things once you’ve already carved into it.
FYI, originally the chest/stomach was going to have a heart in it - then I changed it to a bird - then I changed it to a heart. Now it’s going back to the original bird idea. LOL.
