Default Re: Troupe of three acrobats / Father-and-sons talent show

Thanks for all of the kind comments, it was fun working on it.

I originally thought of having two hobos, one standing on the shoulders of another so they could peek into a high window, and it turned into this.

I'm thinking of another multi-figure piece at the moment, this time a couple doing the Lindyhop/Jive, but this will have to be made out of something other than 1x2x12".

Thanks again

Pete

PS - Hobo - the big guy threw the drum up (must have been something he ate)

I wanted to add - this piece I see as a bit more sculptural than most of my other pieces - I like the way there are circles, squares and triangles represented.

Pete,
What a great carving. Ya got everything looking the same scale and finishing looks good. They almost look like they are out of a single piece of wood LOL. Excellent work!
