| | Rugby Players Finally finished my two rugby players for friends in England. The first set is for the father. Carved from basswood with a walnut base. Total height is 5 inches.

| | Re: Rugby Players Gosh, you've really gotten good at this! Both of these characters have been captured with a very authentic look of loving what they're doing... playing rugby. That first guy looks so proud of his wounds and takes me back to memory lane when I was a much younger fellow who thought he was invincible and indestructible.
Great job! | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
