Default Front Door Guard
I just finished my little soldier to guard the front door. He works along with the walnut lion carved some time ago. He is made of catalpa colored with acrylic washes and covered with BLO. He stands 4' 8" and so far has done a good job keeping the peace.

Thanks for looking -- all comments and crticism encouraged -- can't improve without it.

Love your carvings Kelly! Looks like you put a 'few' hours into those two...
Bet they do a better job at guarding your house than my little Boxer (Daisy)...

That's a mighty fine door guard, Kelley. You won't have to worry about trouble with your centurion and lion. Great job, thanks for sharing.
