Those are great nice job. I made a few myself, but not as nice as your walnut ones. Do you have the hair go all the way around, or is there wood showing in the back of their heads? I found it kind of easier also if I made them in 2 pieces. I've seen some turners do them in one piece and I don't get how they get the hair positioned the way they want it before the glue dries.
