The detail is wonderful, especially the hair on the bear! I am very pleased. Well done & THANK YOU! Glad you liked it. Couldn't decide which to send, so you got both. Third one I did got ruled out. For the bear I was going for a gritty, rough look, with a lot of texture. For the ram, I tried for simple, minimal tool marks, flowing lines. I hemmed and hawed a bit on using a shader for the petals/leaves/sticker burrs, whatever you like to call them, and opted not to. Wreckerative cuts were probably a bit timid and could be much bolder. Open to suggestions on both, both were new techniques for me. On 6/18/2019 at 3:01 PM, Smartee said: Nice YinTx! They look like belt buckles! Thank you. Just the shape of a clicker die I had, and I thought it would make a unique coaster - not square, not round. On 6/18/2019 at 3:09 PM, fredk said: N I C E Thanks!

I didn't do nearly the work to mine that you did - hope my recipient doesn't feel slighted. I'll be posting mine out to HaloJones in the next couple days (when I can get out to the post office). It's the first time I've ever attempted to carve so with that in mind - I'm happy with how it turned out. Looking forward to everyone sharing what to do to better/further my skills Also looking forward to the next swap! Rossr ~ I forgot to also thank you for the key chain! Nice bonus HaloJones ~ yours is on its way! Quote

Members YinTx Posted July 1, 2019 Members Report Posted July 1, 2019 Okay, finally getting my eyes above the water here, so I can finally put this together. I received my coaster! Awesome!!! I really like this coaster. Cool color combinations, challenging knot pattern, and braided with a liner to boot. Here it is in it's glory: and here it is hard at work protecting my morning cup-of-joe: Thank you so much, and sorry it took me so long to get the photos posted!
