Default 1/4 X 3/8 Bust

Had to cut the yard this morning,been a while due to the grass wasnt growing,finally got some rains last week. Had a guy cut our yard but this year I bought a riding mower,least Im outside.

I like starting a carving in the mornings so the yard mowing cut into that time.
This little old man was just something to do.

Hes 1/4{his hat} wide x 3/8 inches tall.Carved from a chunk of the old ironing board pine leg.

Your thoughts are always welcome.

Thks' Forrest

Hey Forrest, glad to see you move up to larger carvings. LOL
That's amazing. I don't know how you do it.
Glad to hear you're able to get outside.
Take care.
Randy

Dan the old ironing board legs,has several legs that joint together,I could carve for years off it---lol Yea Connie use to have me eat the grass like a goat,cut my tongue too much,so I bought a mower this year. It was cooler here this morning and it started raining,I cut it anyway. Now it near 90' outside,I cant take the heat. We have had some really hot days here this summer!!

Thanks Dan for ckn out this little bust.
