Default Billy White Shoes (my third carving)

I thought I'd better get busy and carve something before my son takes ALL the credit on this here forum. Billy is basswood and he's 6 inches tall. I ain't the best wood carver around but I'll bet I'm havin the best fun.

Nothing wrong with your third carving Cliff. I like him and you done a great job in carving and painting him. Looks like son is a little proud of ol Pop also.
Nice to have a father son team.
