Default Old Salt Completed

Here are the pics of the Old Salt I was working on a few weeks back. The knots on the end of the pipe caused me some trouble so I left it pretty rough. The wood is lumbardi poplar and he is approx. 2.5 feet tall. Thanks for viewing
Patrick

Your pieces are very good. Have you thought of adding some large blocks to complete a large bust. Those faces are so neat and clean and handsome.
I would like to see more.
