| | Mr. Lincoln This started out as Abraham Lincoln. It did favor him more until I decided to "tweek" his jawline. Now he looks more like Leonard Nemoy as Mr. Lincoln. I think what I did wrong was to take away the sunken cheek effect I originally had. He is to round in the jaw now. I still like him though. My favorite detail, the mole, is more pronounced in person.
This is my first bottlestopper. I may use him as my cork in my canteen for civil war reenacting.
I hope the file gets attached. Last time my pictures were to big but they would not thumbnail for me. Sorry everyone. |

| | Re: Mr. Lincoln Nice job! You got the major landmarks on Old Abe. And you're right about the sunken cheeks. It's not too late to fix that and I think you'd really like the result of taking a chip out on each side just below the cheek bone. Lincoln had a very gaunt appearance and fat cheeks just don't fit.
Either way it's a nice carving. I don't think I'd use it as a canteen stopper though. Some Reb would grab it and hold him hostage! |

| | Re: Mr. Lincoln Looks like a good Abe to me. Think he would be very capable of stopping a bottle. Good job! |
