Thanks, I’m still learning (always will be) and after I finish a piece I ALWAYS find something I think I should have done differently no matter how much I take my time. I usually stop at each stage of completion for a couple days and just look at the piece occasionally. I constantly Compare it with reference photos. Sometimes while watching Tv I may just set and hold it. I’ve even taken it to work with me and set it on my desk and occasionally look at it. Many times I notice something I need to change. But no matter how much I study it I seem to always find a mistake or realize a detail I should have added. But I generally remember on the next project to avoid the last mistakes or add detail I missed the last time.
Looks good Danny! This will be a competition piece, right? I'd be interested in seeing how you did the base, but if you don't want to show it, I'll check out your Facebook page.
Thanks Dan, I decided to use the one I had for this bluegill on another project. So I’ll do another one for this bluegill and make a short video on how I do it.

Beautiful job, Danny!
Thanks Mike I really appreciate that.
Love the improvements you've made since your first Bluegill...so many details in both your carving and painting that most carvers omit.
