Hey carvers,I posted a while back about what tool to use for alpaca fur. I ended up using a Dockyard micro v-tool. That sure took a while.Here's the results. He's about 6 inches tall and 7 inches long. I gave it to my friend who raises alpacas. He was absolutely floored by it. He didn't know I was doing this.I also just finished the mountain man. How does he look?

MCLOSSON,

Both are absolutely FANTASTIC!

You have a talent that I don't. I admire your work.

Can I come back and comment after I pick my jaw up off the floor?

Sorry, but I just don't have words to do your work justice at the moment, You talented wood carvers are really starting to mess with my ego!

unreal both are outstanding!!!i really like the mountain man.
i wish i could do something like that.i would probably cut myself.
the paint job on the mountain man is awesome.
thanks for sharing

Great job carving both pieces. I really like the way you carved the hair on the alpaca.

Great job..... But why are these your last pieces?

very cool wish i could do that

went to a wood carving show today.lots of carvings.
something like the mountain man was selling for $80.00.
wow keep it up

I didn't mean my last as if I am quitting. I'm enjoying the carving and all the cool carvers I've met. I should have said my latest carvings. Thanks to all of you for your kind comments.

Sorry I mis-understood, glad to hear your not quitting.

Wow! Really great job. Really like them. Nice Work!

Is it just me or does the mountain man look like hrhelm?
