Default Butternut Spirit Face..
Not sure exactly what you call these things, I don't think it is a spirit but anyway I started this yesterday at the club and finished it this afternoon. Carved in butternut approximately 3 1/2 inches wide by 8 inches tall. Finished with boiled linseed oil and satin poly. Thanks for Mark Akers and his help and insight.

Thank you Dan, I think I cut the nose in too deep but it looks ok. Love the worm hole in the beard!
