Default 4th of July Carvings

Where are all of the 4th of July carvings?
I'll show you one that I just finished. I enjoyed carving this guy.
The carving wih the base is just over 20" tall. The carving alone is about 18" tall. He's the largest of my carvings.
I will gladly accept any suggestions for improvement of the next one.

Have a happy 4th!!

Woody01

Wonderful Uncle Sam! Terrific carving, beautiful paint job! Very patriotic.

I'm curious about the buttons, too. Did you carve those? I love the way you finished the base off. It really adds a nice touch.
