[Woodcarver] Cottonwood Bark carving

[Ralph Scheffler]

Hi Andrei -
    I love the gnomes that you have on display - good quality of work.  The relief carvings are exceptional also - what method of finishing do you use?  It appears you include stain with wax.
Your products should sell with no trouble in Montana.

  I'm new to woodcarviing, been carving off and on for 2 years; I'm self-taught, still have tons to learn. 
  I've settled on cottonwood bark as a medium, and my subject is woodspirit houses or gnome homes. I've recently focused on carving larger pieces of bark,up to 7 inches wide and 48 inches long; these have pieces of stained glass for windows, brass or copper window mullions, and doors that actually work. Could you please take the time to look at photos of my work and give me some feedback or constructive criticism? It would be much appreciated. I'm thinking of finding a gallery to display and sell my work, but don't know if I have "gallery quality" pieces.
