Great work Aloha, really nice face/hair you won't f*ck it up! You can't tell me you carved all that wood out with just those two tools though.?

No, the rough out was done a Wecheer rotary chisel. All the clean up was done with the knives.

I haven't had much time to work on this. All the refinements take longer than the rough out.
