A few years ago, MC, decided to try his "hand" at wood carving! He Googled some websites and did a lot of research. After his wood, knives and special gloves arrived, he began what has become a very popular hobby. He has many "fans" looking at his creations, in awe!
His first two attempts were the following.
Soon after these masterpieces were completed, he decided to add some "Personality" to his figures!
