Default Old Man Winter

I guess I finished this one just in time. We are expecting 2-6" of snow coming through here tomorrow and for us here in eastern North Carolina, that's a bunch. Old Man Winter is 6" tall and carved from basswood.

Thanks for looking.

Chuck

Hopefully you don't get any cold weather after the snow, we're finally warming up after highs of -10F a few days ago.
The carving looks great. With those sunk in cheeks, he looks like a guy I used to work with.
