Default Big Foot Bob

This here is Big Foot Bob. It's been said that when he crossed the Mississippi on his way to and from the War of Northern Aggression he didn't need a boat. He just slathered bear grease on his boots, spread out his duster, and let the wind carry him across.

He is basswood, 1.5"x1.5"x4".

Hope you like him. All comments welcome.

Nice looking fella! I like the way you have him reaching for his gun. Hope he's quick on the draw cause it's gotta be hard sneaking up on someone with those feet. Thanks for sharing

Thanks, Eric. You're right; Bob couldn't sneak up on a fence post.

Bflobif, which side of Lake Erie are you on? The War of Northern Aggression is often referred to by carpetbaggers and other Yankees as the American Civil War.

Another nice carving, Bob! Having the duster pulled back from his gun is a nice touch.
