Default Mini Football Player


I didnt like several things about this little football player,so this morning I corrected some of them then repainted him.

His hand & arm with the ball was way to fat plus some other things needed correcting.

Im bad at rushing,done it all my life.




After writting a up date on myself this morning? I got to thinking? At this time of the year whats the best things I enjoy doing?

Carving and Football. Thus I carved this ole timey football player. Hes carve from pine,hes 7/8 from football to other hand,tall at 1 3/8 but totally tall with base at 1 3/4 inches.

Instead of thinking about myself,I'll think more about carving.

Hope you enjoy this little football player and thanks for looking.

Forrest

Plus I will start on the consignment carving tomorrow I have to do.

Right in season Forrest. We could have used him up here on our team this year. The Ole Blue Bombers seemed to have lost all their steam. Nice carving. Neat helmet.
