Default Handsome Harry, a new carving.

Just finished carving and painting Handsome Harry yesterday. Worked on him in the evenings and didn't keep track of time.

More pictures of Harry are on my website if you want to take a look.

Thanks for the comments.
More work (carving) will get done if the weather stays like this. Here in KC, Mo. it's ice and snow for the next few days and I've got lots of vacation left.

Nice little scene! I'll bet I know why Harry has his gun out......Someone probably called him a "Girly Boy" from the looks of those garters on his sleeves!
