Default Merry Christmas to ALL!!! and a last minute spirit..
My stepson has been bugging me to make him a wood spirit so last week I started one and just finished him this morning. The first pic I have applied brown shoe polish to the face to see if I need to work on the details, the second and third pic`s are the finished piece. I cut it kinda close as he will be here later today...Enjoy and Have a safe and Happy Holiday...Bruce

Very nice work! What kind of wood is this? Hard to tell from the picture but it sure finishes nicely.
