I really liked the experience, so I signed up to take two more classes with this teacher, Hitoshi Yamazaki. This is what I chose as my project. (I should have chosen something less difficult!)
Using this Japanese measuring tool, called a shaku, and a chisel, I went to work.
There were three other longer time students working on various projects. We had a tea time break in the middle of the three hour class.
This is what my piece looked like at the end of the class. I know, pretty sad looking. The teacher said it looked better than he expected!
This picture was taken by my teacher and sent to me.
It's a complicated piece and I think you did amazingly well for a first "real" try. And of course you'll be able to finish it in your own time and I'll look forward to that. I'm sure no one got done. I'm impressed!

Wood carving looks very different from your usual crafts, but never the less interesting and I am sure you'll get the hang of it soon!
