Default New pics of Hef

Here are some photos of Hef that my sister-in-law took. I think they are much better than mine so thought I'd post a few.

Nancy,
These pictures really show off your carving nicely. You did a great job. I think you nailed his expression. There is no doubt who it is.

I think someone said "the carving is better looking than Hugh Hefner is". I agree. A nice piece of wood, an excellent carving, and a good finish. Another piece well done. Tom H

Excellent Nancy ,

Outstanding!

It still looks great. I know your received some feedback when you first posted this carving. Not sure what there was to improve on...but if you did do any changes, it worked for you. Well done.

I too think it is a great job. I have done a couple of busts of people and it is really tough to get them to look like the subject.. You did good.
