Hey, Obed here. Today my uncle showed me how to wood carve. He walked me through the steps and this is what I got in the end:
I started with a blank like this:
All I had to do was round it out with a knife, add that little rim, and sand it down. I only got one cut on my finger (the only one that bled that is) which was pretty surprising. I'm not done though. I will probably add little details later, and wood burn it to give it a cool effect.

watermark/logo
Hello! It's Brian. I'm gonna start putting watermarks on my art creations just for safety purposes. also why i'm writing about this i shoould ask that you not copy/paste any thing from this blog. I only ask this out of respect for obed and I. it's actually considered stealing by doing so. If you like to email me or Obed about a creation you'd like to have probably be more than willing to give you copy (Obed might charge you for it just kidding probably not). here's the logo for our blog. We'll probably change from time to time, but we'll post if we're going to change it.
I will also be willing to make one for anybody. Alright, that's it for now.Peace!

WE THE PEOPLE
hey peoples! it's Brian; this will be my first piece of art: "we the people of?
Well this week in history I'm learning about the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The first line of the Declaration is, "We the people..." I started thinking, "who are we the people of?" To the world, you're your own person; it's all about you. Well, when you're a Christian, sometimes you think to yourself, "well, I'll just take the middle path." In the youth group at my church we talked about this "middle path". In life there is no middle path- you either choose to be the people of the world, or we can be the people of God. I'll bet you're saying "so I can't go hang out with my friends who aren't Christians?" Well Jesus didn't always hang out at the synagogue never going any where did He? No. I mean even one of his friends (Matthew, his disciple) was a tax collector. And if you didn't know, tax collectors would usually steal some of the money he earned. So the answer to your question is, "No. Go hang out with your friends- just do it the way jesus would."
so, here's the question who are you of?
