Great shaping job. Never saw such interesting skin on an orca. What kind of wood is that?

The good woodworker does not craft the wood for honor. He uses his craft to honor the wood.

Looks great - especially it being your first. Don't be afraid to round the edges more - that's about all the "constructive critisism" I can offer.
