Default Here it is!!!!

Hi all,

Here's my first carving in quite a long time and as usual, I should spend more time on him, but I've already spotted my next trapped creature and am excited to release it. These are photos of the beginning, the finished pic is in General Carving in the carvers galleries. Have a great day.

Dan

Very clever. It looks like it's naturally coming out of that log. Good carving.
