Wonderful job Carl. Is he finished with BLO? It looks like he was made from a 2 x 2 block. Is that right?

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.

Fred, Slowmover, Thanks for the nice comments. Joe, he was still a little wet from the BLO, and carved from a 1.75 x 1.75 block, he was rough carved, and not band-sawed.

Carl

Super carving. You captured the mountain man "essence" very nicely.
