Excellent stuff. I think it's time you got familiar with the Hook Blade which I use almost exclusively. It has greater leverage than any other blade but should only be used with bandaids readily available as it Will bite you if not careful.
https://warrencutlery.com/store/product-info.php?pid195.html
Use the #9 Medium and if you call them you should be able to get 1 dozen for the same price as the gross pack rather than $1.22 for each blade. Then look at their Handles and get the #CHW-3LJ, it has the best blade holding jaws of all their others.

thanx cy, its birch.nice to carve,its quite soft
thank you benzart for sharing.i use similar knives for small pieces.have to check out these concave shaped knives you use!i guess they feel even sharper because of the
oblique shearing effect.

Are your templates free hand drawings? Excellent either way!
Very nice work!

Hook blades are choice!

so my friends, here are new fotos!
first layer of wood stain and beginning of the nose and forehead decoration
finished nose
and the forehead
a few layers of wood stain later,it`s fresh so it looks lacquered,i`ll do that later.
i got the designs from a book of "Karl von den Steinen ".don`t know if they are used for the nose and forehead- i do.
