He looks real good to me. I prefer to make each character unique in expression. Makes it interesting. You sparked an idea in me now. I have a red cedar post left over from carving my gnome. Hmmmmmmmmmm?

Once again, thanks for looking and giving your comments. For those just getting into doing faces, I would suggest trying the square blocks as it is a great way to ensure you get the wrap around effect of the face. As many of you know, there are very few flat plains on the face so starting with this type of block works well.
