Default I'll call him Rusty
I went to a book store and bought the summer issue of WCI and after looking at the 5 minute wizard this is my first little man that i carved out. I still will have to work on the eyes. Will post progress as made. Hope you enjoy it.

Nice job Keith, you have done a grand job. You can simply paint the eyes on if you want as well. Keep them coming!

Kieth, you did a wonderful job on your first one, just keep doing those, it takes very little wood and you can practice, practice, practice, you'll be amazed by the time you finish the third one, and don't worry about the eyes, like some one said, a little dab of paint and they're done.
