This is another piece of the drift wood,this old sea captain must have been tapping into the rum pretty heavy! His eyes are alittle glassy and what a smile on his face.......just a happy old Sea Captain.

This drift wood,Id hoped it would have had some nice grains in it but it didnt! This carving is 2 1/4 X 8 inches and painted with acrylics.

Your thoughts or comments are more than welcome. Thks' Forrest

Forrest, old friend....I agree with Sharon...this guy is FULL of personality and what a set of "choppers"!! I can't believe the amount of detail you get in just a couple inches. He's quite a character, alright.....and he might have spent a nickel or two in a sailor's bar now and then, telling a couple tales. Wonderful detail and paint job, as usual! Bonnie

Thank you Bonie,my good friend! Just a funny way this captain turned out but I enjoyed the carving part.Im sure he might have hung out in sum bars in his days plus I bet theres alot of stories about him!! LOL

Working on some bears,should be ready Monday. Hope you and yours have a great wk end. HOTttttttttt at 83' here today!!

Thanks again for stopping by to ck this captain out and thanks for your nice compliments! From my side of the mtns to yours,Forrest
