Very nice job
I would not know were to start I have never carved anything always thought you had to be quite artistic to carve .
I am ok working to straight lines

Hello David, before these few projects i had never carved anything myself also and thought as you do that it was intended for more artistic people,until i saw Paul’s first dvd ”Woodworking Essentials”.
After that i ordered a gouge that Paul recommended and just began,i can tel you that it is a joy to do and (for me) very addictive.
I made a dove tail template. It’s pretty rough, I need to make another one. 🙂 This one was good practice though.
I’ve learned that I’m really good at planing things to be out of square! By the time I finished “squaring” this thing, it was almost an 1/8″ too small in width and thickness.
I made a couple of mistakes. I think you’ll be able to see them in the pictures. Among them is not being able to saw a straight line.
This one was made from some Alder wood. It’s the only thing I had laying around that was close to the correct dimensions. I think it’s too soft so I’ll search for some Oak to make the next one out of.

I think making small Items like that, can sometimes be harder than making a much bigger project
