A few more pictures to share. This was done a year or so ago. Tried for the weather-beaten look in his face. Home from the sea for good.

Thanks Cliff, empty nester now. The nights get long and if I don't carve then I have to grade school papers or something like that. Carving has its moments of fun.

Excellent fisherman, the face especially caught my eye. Great expression for one so small.

Very well done. An excellent example of flat plane carving. It just couldn't be any better than that. Great job.
