I realize that fear of failing was actually worse than failing itself so here is my first Marquesan head, wood is either beech either maple, I strongly think that it is maple (anyway hard wood) Size is about 10cm (4") high and 6cm (2"3∕8) diameter Carve with chisels and I admit using a suspended motor for the nose lines :blush: All in all, I am quite happy with it, even if I spot every mistakes each time I look at it. I did learn a lot and especially that the surface of the blank should be well prepared :wink:. Thanks for looking and for any feedback/criticism. And one bone pendant...
