Default Not my best
I carved this in oak mostly with an electric chainsaw and side grinder with a chainsaw disc on it. I was going with my policy of just get it done fast no fussing. I did use hand tools around the eyes and I know this is not my best work. I gave it to my buddy I have been promising him a carving for years, he loves religious stuff.
