| | Re: civil war soldier Great job on him Dave! I'm thinking he should be painted though, not heavy, just washes of color, more like a stain. Either way, you did good!!  Deborah |

| | Re: civil war soldier Great job on the soldier Dave, the eyes give it more focus. Doesn't matter what side he was on, his facial expression says it all. Great carving.
