Looking for pattern or rough out, fireman.

[Mike-in-WV]

My nephew just became assistant Fire Chief and I'm looking for a good caricature rough out of a good sized fireman or a nice bust of one for his desk.
I've had some health problems and haven't been on here in a while. It's good to see that all the folks on here who were so helpful to me are still here. What a great bunch of carvings best of the best hang out right here!, Mike

Mike-in-WV, hey, check out the free carving patterns here under Carving Community located just to the left of these messages, at least a couple of patterns there. They are from older WCI magazine articles.

Cheers

WCI, used to have one in the free carving patterns by Peter Ortel, There used to be one of a little boy, by Peter Ortel in one of WCI's artciles, , you may want to run a search and find it. I'll look in my old mags and see if I have a picture. Also Susan has a relief pattern you might want to check out on her website, her name her is [B]Irish good luck and share the finished carving with us
