Do you recognize the master who inspired this kind of piece?

My guess would be Pete LeClair. It looks like a very good carving but it's kind of hard to see. I think you could use a little more light on it.

JOHN,

Your pose is fantastic, as well as the carving too. Bill

Thanks Bill and all the rest for the encouragement on this piece. The material I looked at before carving this was from Fred Cogelow. I like his stuff. I have to admit that I have not looked at much of Pete's material, will now though and I do not even know who Jim Maxwell is, but will check it out.

Thanks again.
