My first Mary May Acanthus leaf carving attempt, pretty nasty, but hopefully a 2nd try will work out better. Def learned a few things from Mary's video, which I recommend watching BEFORE you attempt the carving, oy. The book instructions are great but the video has some tips worth noting as well. It boggles the mind how refined, clean, and fast Mary carves, but perhaps that's from 20 yrs of practice??
