Just Monkey 'n' Around.....

[chpster90bu]

Hello, everyone.....on here only occasionally, as usual, due to life's committments, but thought I'd show you a monkey I did as a gift for someone. Actually, it was for me, but the person loved it so much, I will give it to her as a Christmas gift. For some reason, this one really gave me fits and it almost landed in my fireplace.....but I persevered. There's just something in me that can't let a hunk of wood beat me! LOL Here he is....Bonnie

Your ole Tn friend~Forrest

P.S his skin around his face,belly,hands and feet,look like the leather type on a real monkey plus you laid his hair just right as it also would be on a real monkey. You sure you didnt use a picture of me on this carving! {LOL} If he had a Go-T,he'd look like me, old Tn!

That's a great little monkey, Bonnie. It's a good thing you decided to finish it instead of throwing it in the fireplace. Thanks for sharing.
