Default Picture References

I just found a wonderful website www.old-picture.com. It's full of old photographs of native americans, old west, civil war, and many other categories from our American history. I think it's a great site to go for references pictures and a pool of new ideas for future carvings. Hope you find it useful.

I'm glad everyone likes it. I was searching for a good picture of an indian brave for reference for my next carving and came across the site. There's some great old photos with some real personality in them. Great reference.

Lynn, you can't blame a guy for trying!!!
