Wow! Again Gary, Your carvings have such distinctive characteristics about each one.Plus the effects in the depth, that you carve in each of your carvings are just un real. It such a pleasure viewing your work! Thanks for taking the time to share them with us.

Forrest

In my attempt to get caught up with all the postings I scanned earlier post...and it appears that you've been busy carving! I've always been impressed with Native Americans as they have such strong features. You did an excellent job capturing the distinct characteristics of an Indian male. I've tried two Indians in my short carving time and I hope to do more. I rarely see female Indians shared on this site. Have you every tried one, as females of any culture is always a challenge. And that bark is something else. Don't think we have cotton wood bark in Nova Scotia, Canada.
