Default Trapper & Indian Bust

Here is a bust that I have been working on. It is a basswood roughout from Stu Martin. The finish is mostly natural danish oil mixed with oils to make a wash. I didn't do the painting I had mom do it. Let me know what you think.

Great carving Ron...................I especially like your subjects. They remind me of a couple of characters that I hang around with while involved in another of my many hobbies (muzzleloader rendezvousing)
