Well, here is another attempt at caricature carving, something I have never done much of. Gonna stick this one in the CCA contest at Converse, Ind this month and see what happens. Probably nothing but at least I can say I tried.

Thanks, Mary will be pleased with the comments on her paint job. Actually they can be any state you want them to be. Hope there eren't a bunch of retired state highway workers on here. I'll be in trouble!

Doug it looks great! It's always nice to see a carving with great humor applied to it. How long did the men have to pose during this carving?
