Bottle Stopper - Lynn's Style

[tvance124]

Just completed this bottle stopper using Lynn's techniques. It was a fun project and I learned a lot. I think it is just as challenging to put a carving together as it is to get it from a single piece. In fact, I think I like putting it together better.

I know it ain't perfect, but it's a beginning. Hope to get him painted sometime today or tomorrow. I see plenty of areas for improvement. Comments welcome - and I got thick skin - so if you see something let me know.

Thanks.

P.S. for Lynn - I carved most of this with what you call old reliable and I am sure getting hooked on that tool. Thanks for sharing.

Also, since I got the inspiration from your blog and the cook scene was the step by step I think I will call this one "Cookie".
