Default Finished driftwood spirit

I have been carving up a storm last two days, here is a woodspirit in driftwood I have finished.
not sure what kind of wood, kind of soft and a little punky (been in the river too long I guess). But it turned out alright.
Thanks for looking and commenting!

Really nice, Gary. The spirit looks like it just melted right into the wood. It flows like a river.

Hi Gary, I love it! He has that old man of the forest look excellent expression and carving. Also the way the hair line design travels up and out of the work is so good.
