I love to carve where the wood has such a contrast from sapwood to heartwood, like this is a great example. As I said looks like sunscreen lol, Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Keoma, I didn't know it frosted in heaven. I got to say, I find that a little disappointing... snicker, snicker.
He won't look complete until the snow and ice blow onto his face. Then he will truly be a silent witness to the harshness of winter.
