Carving Log

I've been wanting to try my hand at carving for quite some time so I asked Russel where I might be able to find a nice log to carve and he mentioned that there were a few trees past the Botanic Gardens which had recently been felled. So that's where I found this wondeful log.

I thought it would just be a great chance to get used to using the tools and learning what kind of patterns could be made with them so that I would then be able to apply this to my practice if ever the situation arose.
