[Woodcarver] First attempts...be gentle :)

Chris-
Looks like you are using a 'V' tool to waste the background area in some places. A rounded gouge will work and look better, as you did on the right. So far, so good. Make sure to keep your tools very sharp to keep from tearing the wood fibers. Keep us in the loop.
