| | Finished the Geezer Hi All,
Managed to finish the old guy I posted earlier and am now working on a companion piece as he is to be part of a scene I have in mind. Was fairly happy with this one and thought I would share it. The piece is basswood (aren't they all) and the figure is about 6" tall, finished with thin acrylic paints and BLO. Hands were a little hard to carve at this scale. Hope ya enjoy him!
