This Was My Very Second Project

Recommended Posts

After getting the tandy starter kit and practicing their common sheridan flower on some scrap, I decided I wanted to do something different on the checkbook cover that came with my kit. My dad is the only person I know who uses a checkbook cover, so I decided to make it for him. They have elk where he lives, and there are quite a few ranches out there, so I tried to make his initials look like a cattle brand. I did a lot of things wrong (please feel free to critique!), but all in all for a first attempt, I think it came out pretty well. I like the originality of figure carving. I can only take so many "cowboy flowers"

Not bad at all for a 1st! I'm sure he'll love it!

For a first try it's very good...good even for a second or third try. Proportions on the elk look good, only thing I'd watch for is the eyes on the next one. You nail the look of the eyes and it makes the whole design pop just that much more.
