Default Grandpa

G'day All,
My wife had an appointment with our doctor this afternoon and while waiting for her, I carved this little feller and painted him on our return home. He's carved from a leftover from another project and measures just a tad over 2".... certainly kept me entertained as I waited. My wife had hurt her ankle and leg, but xrays showed no fractures so the Doc simply strapped her ankle and told her to rest it as much as possible which was a relief to us both. Thanks for taking time to look at Grandpa.
John

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.

Nice job on the grampa, John! Ya must carve a lot faster than I do cause it would take me a little longer than a Doctors visit. Looks good!
