Default Old man pattern

Since I'm on a roll.....

A couple of months ago I posted a picture of an "old man" carving that I use as a pattern for more carvings. Here are a few examples.

I have a front and rear view of the man in overalls. The flip flop guy was the most fun (and challenging).

Mitchell, Excellent carving and finishing. There's lots of detail in those fellas. I assume that none of them are over5 inches tall. Great work as usual.
