to carve... I'm making a little larger closed reed for my canvas... Dave's been giving me pointers but don't blame him for my short comings on it. Thought I'd show my best to date... it wraps around a little so I'm showing 2 views. On down the road this will be a 2 piece call... the mouth piece will be 0-ring fitted.. this was an experiment on cutting the mouth piece.

Looks nice Brad. The coyote looks like he has spotted something and is keeping an eye on it. I like it.

Nice Job Brad That piece of walnut has an awesome grain in it also

That's not too bad Brad, and it is a thousand times better than I could do.

Hey Brad, that looks great buddy.

That's what I'm talking about!

I've seen fellas carving for a long time that can't do a coyote that nice. Well done!

Heck yeah you're doing a good job Brad!! You got the whiskers defined nicely. Nice attention to detail.

Walnut has always been a favorite of wood carvers dating waaaaaay waaaay back.
