Took down a couple of pine recently and decided to make a little rocker for my 2 year old! I've never done this so it was definitely a learning experience.

Simple as it gets.. :laugh:

not bad-
try using the tip of the blade at a little of half rpm and gently move across some wood, only taking about 1/8 to 1/4 off. You will build surounding muscles and your eye-hand cordination. Make stright lines moving the tip sideways. This may sound silly, but can be quite a challenge. I love carving/sculpting. It it the most theroputic thing for me. Rather strange when you have a chainsaw in your hand, no one will bother you. LOL
happy carving
