Default Pelican carving

This the result of carving request from a friend of mine. Was fun to do and starting another with a different head. Sell a couple more and it will be time to order a new Nikon digital, can't wait. Critque's welcome.

It is a carved basswood pelican head mounted on a golf club.

Thank you Fred. I consider that a fine compliment from a fine artist. I will deliver it to her tomorrow. Looking forward to it as she is a "fine" old time friend.

P.S. I'm sure glad you joined the forum.

Bob
