Default Johnnie Reb

I know this is not the caliber of Lynn's work but this is a Reb soldier that I just finished. I still need to sand it. He stands 9" tall carved from basswood. This one I also did by touch. I had an accident the other day and cut my video cord. Let me know what you think good or bad.

That jig next to the carving is one of my clamp jigs. The idea came from a past issue if WCI I can't remember which one. If anyone would be interested I will take more pictures and give details. Let me know. It works pretty good for caricatures.
