Default 1st Mnt. Man 4" Bust
Well I thought I'd take a break from carving up my Santa's and try something different for me.

Had one more of my Santa ornament 4" block cutouts left and low and behold I found inside a "Old Wild West Mountain Man" coming out of the woods from a nice day of fur trapping, had his long rifle with him too just for protection from those grizzlies.

Hope you like him, comments always welcomed, 4" X 2.5" acrylic paints, satin finish.

Bill
