Default Bobby Ray Y'all

This is one of Mike Shipley's Ozark characters although it did not come from one of his roughouts. It just goes to show that it's pretty hard to copy someone's work because no matter how hard we try each of us puts our own uniqueness into the piece.

2" x 2" x 4-1/2" basswood finished in acrylics with a top coat of Satin Ceramcoat varnish.

Unlike Mike's character which has one foot resting on the other I gave mine big feet planted flat.
