Default Leaf Peeper Forrest
I haven't posted a pic in a while due to the business of my summer, but I just completed, Forrest, the Leaf Peeper, and yes he does have a familiar name to us all. I did this while Forrest was in the Hospital the other day, he stands about 4.5 inches tall, hes 2.50 inches wide and he, as the figure is about 2.50 in depth.Its getting around the time for all the leaves to turn and I thought what better way to bring the fall months in, that is a leaf peeper.He has a little bit of a European look, but thats ok . Hope you enjoy. Forrest this ones for you. fred k

Fred, you did a mighty fine job of carving this little guy! Looks like he's climbed a few hills in his time and still can climb a few more... I'm sure it won't be long until Forrest posts a comment or two about your work...I'm sure he'll like it alot!!!
