Default Three Men on a Bench

Hi, here's my latest. I found these three in the CCA "Train Book" and thought they would look good sitting together on a bench.

The originals were from Gary Batte, Harold Enlow, and Eldon Humphreys. Hope you like them.

I like these 'boys' ! One can have so much fun just imagining the conversations they have... The one on the very right just said something the one on the very left has to ponder on....

Great job, Thank you for sharing.

Marcia

Joe....unbelievably good carvings! The facial expressions are fabulous, along with the rest of them. They look like real people "kabitzing" over a few stories...I'd kill to be able to carve that well! Great job. Bonnie

Fantastic job, Joe. You put a lot of motion in the whole thing. It's the type of carving you keep coming back to because you expect one of them to say something profound. I really like it. Thanks for sharing.
