Wonderful, I started carving a few years ago, its great to see when you improve on your carving. Love your expression on the faces. Great job.

[@maggiehulsey2695]

You are very good at carving and explaining the how and why of your cuts. Thanks

Best video of your progress, really enjoyed it. I will copy some of your ideas... you'll live on.

[@thesomersetwhittler]

Thank you 😊

WOW. The different expressions and detail is astonishing. I'm new to mini figures and totally hooked. The fact that you've managed this level in quality within 2 years is a real credit to you - you've got talent with mini figures that ive not see anywhere else on RUclips.
Thanks so much for the inspiration and for sharing.
Peace ✌️

Howdy from Cedar Creek Tx. I have been playing around for 12 years and have progressed past the Sharon my art.

[@thesomersetwhittler]

Howdy 🤠👍🏻

[@kevinhampton7215]

Have not progressed past Sharon my art, it is really Jack Price small caricatures . You have done amazing , you have a gift thanks for sharing .

[@kevinhampton7215]

Hello Somerset Whittler, would love to see you carve some of these bust. The back of your 1x4 guys would also be cool. The Joker would be a big hit. I have carved 1 x before but not the whole caricature carved on the corner. Very cool and different.

[@thesomersetwhittler]

Thank you 🙏 I will definitely do a quick bust sometime soon 👍🏻

[@johnciccone395]

Hi Ben, some excellent expressions on this faces. Hope you don't mind me asking, but how did you learn from Dave Stetson? Was it taking some of his courses? if so can you suggest which ones? Cheers Dale

Thanks Dale - I signed up to the Wood carving academy for a few months he had several really good videos on there about small face carvings
