Default Thumbnail gorilla.....
I found this little guy way in the back on a shelf the other day.
I carved him one evening out of a bit of scrap wood.
One of those that I start hacking on, and wait to see what it turns into.
A tiny King Kong began to emerge and I stopped after roughing out his shape.
The face doesn't show much, but I did get a pretty good ape look to him.
The nickel shows how small he is.
I sure enjoy this hobby. Specially when its freezing cold outside. (Plus all my mistakes go in the wood burner to help keep me warm) LOL
