Not wanting to get into a big carving today,thought Id try carving a Gargoyle,had this old found pine block which I carved this sitting gargoyle from. Just stained him,wasnt going to waste the time to paint him.

Old timey Gargoyles sat on building tops,they were water spouts.

Hes 2 X 4 inches stained. Thanks for your thoughts.

Forrest

Looks good, as do all your pieces. Now you need to carve a building for him to sit on.
