I kind of had Gandalph from the lord of the rings in mind when I did this but I did not have a picture to go by....in otherwords, this is my imagination working. The pipe was a challenge as I had to keep trying to bring it out when it started to chip off. As well, his lower lip chipped off so I had to lower it and put some lower teeth in to grip the pipe. The birch log is approx. two feet high. I put blo, two layers of satin sealer, and some dark satin wax to bring out his features.

Its great to have all of you comment on this latest carving. Its fun doing a carving for the sake of carving.
I'm back to another fundraiser carving. I thought I had my share of Sea Captains for a while but that is what is being requested. The community the carving will be used to raise funds is populated with many fisherman. My wizard expression looks so blah that I think I'll give the Sea Captain a laughing face and a chin beard to separate him from the other Captains I did earlier. Stay tuned.
