Thanks, fellas for your kind words, I had blast working on them,The guy in the overalls is my favorite too, All three were carved out of Basswood with a light acrylic wash followed by deft semi gloss and then antiqued with watco dark walnut.

Wow, these are great. Maybe someday I can produce something like that. Just out of curiosity, how large of a block do you make the head out of ?

I usually carve the heads out of a 3' by 3" by 6" chunk of basswood, or whatevers laying around my shop. Just keep practicing I seen your carvings and it look like your doing great!!

Lonnie,
I have to agree with you, the man in the overalls is my favorite as well. Nice carvings!

Thanks Tony,I had fun a blast working on him. I finally jumped into the forum instead of kicking around the front door wondering if I should enter . I have met alot of really nice people through this forum. I'd like to see what you've been working on lately, post some pics if you can.

Great work Lonnie. All three have expression. Mr. Overalls is super.

- On all three you chose to leave the shoulder end cut straight up and down not sloped in as some do on busts. Was there a reason for that or is that just how it came out?
