Good looking carving. The hat is a little to big for the head though.

I think that the hat will fit better the next time around.

But at the same time, it does cover the point on the top of his head
(a genetic malformation shared by many of the people that I had to work with during the 31 years of my biology professor career, somewhat closer in appearance to the posterior of the horse.)

You know I kinda thought the hat was too big but when with in anyway.
Thanks everyone.I do appreciate all the comments. Really the ones that point out my mistakes the best. That's how I learn. Keep the comments coming. Ginny
