Thanks Claude for posting these, and thankyou Michael for sharing. That's a carving to be proud of (almost expect your man to speak)...I am fascinated by the whole "bark carving" scene, would love to try a "gnome home etc." but have not heard of any trees here in Australia that produce a bark that would be suitable.....Thankyou gents once again
John

Michael

What a terrific job! I love cottonwood bark, easy to carve and such a wonderful look and feel. You did a great job getting debth in that carving. It really brings the face out. I agree it looks real, very nice job and thank you for sharing.

Greg

What a great use of the slab. The face looks like it grew there.

Michael, Terrific carving. Don't know the size of the carving, but suspect it's on the small side. Smaller bark carving cab be difficult to do and hold the detail. You've done well. Tom H
