Default Woodspirt commission for my neighbor
My good neighbor across the street came over just before Christmas and I was carving a chair. He wanted me to carve a fact similar of his best friend as a woodspirit. So this is the final product he just gave it to him this morning. So how did I do does it look a little like the guy? Carved out of white pine with mostly chainsaw and some chisel.

Thinkin' big - I like how it came out.
btw: the fellow in the picture with the red coat, rosey cheeks and long beard sure looks familiar - oh never mind.

H.N.Y. Colin.

Very good job Colin. Having a woodspirit likeness really worked for his face and facial hair.

Wasn't it convenient that he looks like a woodspirit! Great likeness, Colin. I enjoyed seeing the two of them together. Great work.
Happy New Year to you.
