Default Back from the still
This old hillbilly's back from the still with some moonshine, but were is it? He drank it all on the way down of course! Can't you tell by the way he's walking?

Carved this little guy today out another little piece of Spruce I had that I've been carving recently, got two boards 1 x 8 x 4 feets, that's probably gonna last a while considering I carve pretty small. Didn't want to paint this little guy though. He was supposed to be carrying a pig instead and not drunk, I had a good story for the pig one too. No real story for this'n though.

I hope old Eddy Smiles don't see this or he'l think it was a self portrait I made of myself on account of what he was saying in my last post! LOL

Hope you like loking at this simple little carving I made, I sure had fuun carving him. As always your comments and thoughts are welcome.

Oh, and I got a new lamp today. Pretty nifty with all them fishes and all.

Alex

Another neat little character, Alex! Lamp looks cool too. Kinda like a greek urn.
What's a greek urn, you ask? Oh, about 4 bucks an hour.

That's an OLD groaner but I just couldn't pass it up.
