Hello and good morning to you all,
Today I'd like to share this little chipmunk I carved as a commissioned Christmas gift.

Here it is blocked out using the chainsaw. It was only one foot tall so most of the details had to be done with the dremel and chisels.

Well that didn't take long to change..

Customer was very happy with the results, and so was who he gifted it to. The best part of my career is seeing those happy faces. Feels good knowing I can make people happy with my work.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I saw, if so feel free to upvote and reblog. I love what I do and I'm happy to share here on Peakd. Please do stay tuned as I have much more to share on this awesome platform. Thanks for looking,
Jon
