    So embarrassed about what? Did you carve them facing the wrong way? Your work is just beautiful.

    Im with Jill here…your work is just to be admired and respected for the talent which has gone into it…I can just imagine you chipping away in your cabin workshop somewhere in the mountains, smelling of beautiful wood with bears and raccoons hanging about on the porch.
