Default Hill-Bo ????
So I told myself THIS time Im gonna follow Lynns videos all the way to the end of the project and Ill have a really cool carving of Gabby. Well as always, it didnt take long to realize my carving looked nothing like what Lynn was doing ! As always I then carve and see what comes out. So this guy looked like Gabby for a minute, then maybe a hillbilly, well maybe a hobo ???? At any rate, he was a blast to do and as my wife was quick to point out, I will not refer to it as " Gabby Ho ".
Hope you enjoy it and comments and suggestions are always welcomed
Dave

Whoever he is Dave, He looks really good. After all, Gabby was only a bust.

I really like him. HoBilly seems good to me, but Billy Hill would be good. Not Billy Ho cause he doesn't look Hawaiian.

Dave, he's a nice looking guy whatever he is. And the best part -- he's all yours.

Dave, he's fantastic!!! Sometimes you start out a carving expecting one thing, and it turns out completely different. He's one to be proud of for sure.
