I agree the lighter painting on your carvings Gene is how alot of the Flat Plane Master carvers did their carvings from what Ive seen in picts on line. Your carvings always have such caricature to them with the cuts of the flat plane carving where my carvings I have to paint more to creative that caricature. I always enjoy your carvings! Good job Gene!

Isn't that much bigger than usual? Did you use a chain saw on this one? Nice carving Gene.
