Default 1/8 X 1/4 Hound

To keep from wearing myself out on another bigger carving today,thought Id try something smaller.

This little hound is 1/8 wide,1/4 tall from his feet to the highest part of his rump, 5/8 long from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. Carved him from a pine block,will paint him cause of the grains in the pine.

Hes a good little guy plus I know he wont eat us out house and home like my other two dogs do! Plus easy to potty train?? One Q-T swab should be enough for him for a month.

Thanks for looking,Forrest


: Update: Since carving him earlier,I carved him down some more,he was kinda blocky course too I cant carve any more off him. Heres a pict of him carved down more.

Forrest, if you drop him in your chip-pile you better hope he comes to a whistle or he could be in there for days!

OK Forrest, that's more like it. There for a while I thought you'd crossed over to do some huge carvings. Well done little pup. Where's the rest of the litter?
