He's got a great look Merle. Something about how you shaped his cheek bones and the eyes makes it really stand out.

Ricky, is it? He's the one used to check on us kids back in the late 40's.

Merle, what a winner that one is, I tried to figure out what's so special and I guess I'd have to say the eyes, they just sort of capture me. Great carving for sure.
