Great carving there Joe! You can certainly tell he's a 'Pete LeClair' figure...great detail! I've just picked up the book recently and will have to try to carve a few of his faces for practice...I need it! Ha! Looks like you've mastered your faces just fine! Thanks for sharing the little guy with us!

I have carved that bust too, yours came out great. I was just in a class of Pete's over Memorial (last) weekend. He is a terrific teacher & the class was lots of fun.

Kris, I had the pleasure of one of Pete's classes three years ago and I can say that it greatly helped me to be a better carver. Hope you post your class project.
