My First Carvings

[NatesCustomHolsters]

So I started the local class at the tandy store on leatherworking, and other than the one floral carving they start you out on, here is what I have done...

What do you guys think? I just kind of winged it on the leaf. Whats the best way to do letters like this that are simple?

Anyway, heres the pics.

I think that oak leaves are some of the best things to start off with. They're simple yet can have a ton of detail of you want. My opinion is that my first good carving was an oak leaf which can be found here

Keep it up.

I really like leaf patterns. I plan to do a lot of them. Its gonna take a lot of practice though before I put something on one of my holsters and try to sell it.
