Well done. You have great skills and vision.

[@trevorwalters7978]

Have to say . Your quite strong for a scrawny bird. The carving and finish is amazing👍🇬🇧🙋🏼‍♂️

The name plate! Really puts a cherry on top

[@MichelleThevenotArtwork]

The name plates sure do put a professional finishing touch on carvings! There are several customizable metal tag engraving options on Etsy 😉

[@jacobp9767]

@@MichelleThevenotArtwork oooh ill look around, I was working on a branding stamp but this looks more classy 🧐

[@markinglese3874]

Seriously you are gifted mate! Great work.

Great Job Michelle and a very nice carving I like your face shield

[@MichelleThevenotArtwork]

Thanks! The face shield/respirator is a huge improvement to keep dust out of the eyes. Safety glasses don’t keep all the dust out, and after eye surgery, I’m being extra careful now. The face shield is from Peke Safety. Works good indoors and in milder temps outside. Still has some fogging up issues in our extreme cold though.

красота.

Super job Michelle Thanks for the video

[@MichelleThevenotArtwork]

Happy to share, and thanks for watching!

[@WildMustang5oh]

Fantastic work. I learned a few things that I am going to try on my own carvings. Keep up the hard work....

[@MichelleThevenotArtwork]

Glad this helped you in your own carving practice!

[@watton1]

Awsome. I wish I had your talent. Or any talent come to that. Great work Michelle 🙂

[@MichelleThevenotArtwork]

Aww thank you! I believe everyone has their own talents, even if they haven’t been discovered yet.

[@ThomasKMills]

Very nice work! You really got some money invested in tools, been wanting to get some arbortech tools and your video really shows how useful they are.

[@MichelleThevenotArtwork]

Thanks! The first few years of carving were heavy investments in tools. I purchased many tools myself, and also received some through business partnerships that are mutually supportive. I can honestly say having the right tools for the job speeds up the process, has improved the carving details, increased efficiency, and allowed me to reach higher sales potential.😊

[@clairetolmie3247]
