 the Wizarddddd~ I had a long piece of drift wood/kinda a log really. After cutting it into several different sizes I had the top part which really wasnt worth even trying to burn or very less to carve. Butttttt I like my junky wood and carved this olde Wizard in this old half rotten piece of drift wood. Hes 3 1/2 X 19 inches,thats not counting his two buck teeth! LOL Hes got kinda a rabbit look about himself and Im sure glad he didnt drop by our home during Easter to hide any eggs! Carvings like this are practice work for me,God I hope I get better!! LOL Your thoughts are always welcome. Forrest

| Re: the Wizarddddd~ Nothing more challenging than working material that may not cooperate. This fellow appears to have a touch of folk art in his looks. I always like your paint job so what ever comes out of the wood tends to be great. Nice carving. Patrick |

You just finished the honey bears yesterday, and here you are today with a whole new carving...in found rotted wood, yet. Great job on his face and beard, Forrest....of course your painting skills put your own mark on him. Another wonderful piece! Bonnie |
