Default I Can't Believe I Did That!!!!!!!!

I haven't posted in a while and I was just reviewing three carvings I wanted to post. I really didn't like this guy much and wasn't gonna show him but I just now noticed I carved five fingers on each of his hands.OMG How in the world could I have done that and not noticed until he was painted and still didn't notice until I was reviewing the photo to post??????? Arnie

Thumbs up Re: I Can't Believe I Did That!!!!!!!!

Arnie .. I really dont see anything wrong with this guy .. he is a great looking carving .. He's got action ... movement .. and your paint job is very good .. so if you dont like him .. Iam sure there are plenty who would take him off your hands for you ..

great job

Gene

He needs those extra fingers it looks like...lol. He's a good looking figure, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out.

Now that's funny. Its the best funny because you have no one to point a finger at except yourself. No pun intended. If it were me I wouldn't change a thing and keep for a 'self gotcha' funny to myself.

You have to wonder how this got by.

It is a nice carving.

Hate it when that happens... But don't change it ...he looks great. He's just an average fisherman from the 3mile island area catching those tasty 3 eyed fish.
