Default New Elf
Created this elf from a roughout I received while in Charlotte, while I cannot attribute the roughout to a particular artist, it was received while I was in Charlotte this past February. I cannot say enough about the folks in Charlotte!! This was a fun project. Thanks for looking.

Another nice carving Tony. Looks like he has to pee bad. I can relate to that for sure. Color is spot on. Just a very nice piece.
