Default Native American Indian
Hi all,
This piece of old dried out cherry was cut several years ago for a bench in my garden and has been in my wood shed ever since. I've never tried to carve a Native American until now and this is how it came out, hope you enjoy him as much as I did creating him. He's 48" tall x 8" wide and done completely by hand out of my imagination.
Dan

Thanks Curt & Michael, Brandant I don't think I'll ever tire of him, put a lot of work into him and as usual, I get attached to my carvings. Thanks again, Dan

Thanks Sharon but he won't be staying in the garden, my wife has already found a spot in the house.
