Rabbit in black walnut stump wood

[Dan Wegiel]

Hi everyone,

Its been a long while since I've been able to carve, but finally feeling good enough to do it again, here's a little bunny I noticed peaking out of this hunk of very hard to carve black walnut. The piece is 16"h by 12"w & 6" deep, I hope you enjoy him as much as I do.

Thanks Forrest,

I can't believe how good it feels to be back at it again and the rabbit was promised a long time ago so it came first.
I've never tried doing a Native American and I've got a nice big piece of old oak laying around so thats my next project.

Thanks again ole buddy, Dan
