Default Self Made Man

Ok, it took me awhile but here is my latest carving. I call it "The Self Made Man". This idea was rumbling around in my head for some time but it always seemed like there was more important pieces to be done. Finally finished all the stuff for other people and got to do one for myself. He stands about 7 1/2" tall and is carved from tulip poplar. The idea is my own but I did carve the head in the style of Pete LeClair. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this piece, I hope you like it.

JB, that's a fine little carving ya got there, if he ever gets himself finished he'll for sure be a self made man. Very nice job on a great idea, well done.
