At your point as a carver I'm learnin' more from you that I could ever show you! Wish that I'd had some of these at the auction I was at Saturday... would have brought top dollar without a doubt! Keep it up!

Thanks for the comments, I am trying to learn how to do the indain face, not there yet though.
Dave, I am trying to get the guts to put some of the indians on ebay, some people get pretty good money for Indians there. We will see soon.

GaryMc it even look great without the paint. At that sort of good detail stain or paint wood have worked in my mind.

Lovely piece
