john,
that feller pointing his finger looks like the old timer i set next to comming back from alaska, that feller could talk even through the inflight meal he didnt mis a lick,

good job on the turned head

you can carve the head seprate on a peg and put it into a hole drilled in the neck,

by carving the body with the shirt collar finished, the peg is hidden in the detail of the collar,
it gives a lot of extra leeway for expression

look on lynns blog under the chuckwagon cook...

Those look like some fun characters! The one in the jogging suit and running shoes is my favorite. Thank's for posting.
