| | Re: Driftwood Indian wip 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.

| | Re: Driftwood Indian wip 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
