Default Native American just about finished
I've been working on this one for quite awhile but now it's done except for staining. I have to finish it by tues, for our Christmas pot luck dinner. We all bring carvings and when your called up you say a few words about it. I'll post again next week when it's finished. Comments welcome.

Feb,

That is a really nice looking carving!! Is it just the lighting or is that one particularly white piece of wood? Almost looks like holly. Whatever it is you sure did it proud!

L.P.

He's really nice Feb. When I clicked on the thumbnail I noticed you call him Chief Many Squaw. Could that be why he looks a little sad, or is he just tired? lol
