Piece of driftwood, very hard and full of sand, was even in a fire. He was there waiting to come out and is 18"H x 4"W, hope you like him.

I didn't spend too much time on him because the wood was so hard. Here he is Sharon, hope you like him.

Hi Dan,

That's a neat crving. I can see the hardness of the wood in the photo. The wood looks very nice with the burned part on his hat.
