Default Cigar smokin Hillbilly & sidekick

Heres a couple I've been workin on, the big guy is 8 inches and the little fella is 4 inches both of bass wood. Sorry for the lousy pics, I shot them on my cluttered desk top. Comments welcome. I finally figured out how to carve eyes, just cover 'em up with hair, it's easy.

Perhaps it's Homer and Jethro...my mom and dad had a couple of their comedy albums. I still remember the lyrics..."Her teeth were like the stars above, because they came out every night!"
