Default Sea Captain

You've seen a number of my sea captains...well here is one more. I've been requested to carve one for a wife of a fisherman for a birthday present. This carving is 5 feet tall and carved in birch. He's got layers of acrylics, oil, sealer and wax. Thanks for looking.

Excellent work Patrick you have really made an amazing piece here and five feet tall DANG thats giant. The finish is great and you have carved it so cleanly a real 10.

Love his big snoz! He's quite the character and looks ready to tell a tall one and maybe drink one! Great job!
