The "PanHandler"

[tnartist05]

This little pan handler is 1/4 " wide X 3/4 " tall,Hes carved from apple wood{some small chips from other apple carvings earlier} His eyes are blue,just couldnt get my camera that close to show them. He has his hand out asking for money. I have only carved 2 little people but every time I see Mr.Gene Messer's carvings, I just have to carve one. Its fun and relaxing carving these little guys! I think hes carved in the flat plane seeing I didnt carve him that smooth. Just wanted to share this little guy on board.

Hope you enjoy him as much as I did carving & painting him. Thks TnArtist

They look good to me. After seeing the other little guys I have been carving some from blond maple that are 3/4" x 2" but I know I couldn't go that small. You did a great job.
