Default lit' Lepricon

This was my first attempt at carving some bass wood. I dont know anything really about making a block or cut outs,just whittled this little guy.

Hes 1 inch wide X 1. 7/8's inches tall.

Hope you might enjoy viewing him plus your comments are always welcome.

Thanks again for allowing me to post here. Forrest

Nice work Forrest!!! Great painting job as always! Small just like a leprechaun is suppose to be! But you better keep an eye on him--they have a habit of disappearing!!

Very nicely done Tn, you better be careful you'll be addicted to these little fellars before you know it. You sure put a lot detail on this little guy.
