Default Gandalf, The White
I've think I have seen several postings of Gandalf, The Grey, so I thought I would try my hand at Gandalf, The White from Lord of the Rings. He's 6" tall from basswood. Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions always welcomed.

Chuck

Great job Chuck, he looks amaizing. Love the beard and the hairline on the head. Well done.
