Real nice job, Bart. I like his striped shirt and suspenders. Good lookin' finish too ... (I use the same method myself for finishin'.)

You did a really good job Bart with this carving,nice how you turned his head some and til'd his eyes to match in the same die-wreck-shun. I like also the good cuts{the folds} on his clothes and your painting. All in all,a really neat carving on your behalf Bart!

Hope you will be at Statesville,as of right now,I'll be there and it will be my pleasure to meet you.
