Default Driftwood Wood Spirit

this is a 9 " by 3 1/2" by 2 1/2" wood spirit carved in drift wood found at a local lake. Would have been thicker but limb was cut in half

Eyes are good but nose to narrow, I think.

Ron, I forgot to describe the wood spirit. Not really a whole lot to it, It appears to be willow wood but I am not sure since the lake has all kinds of trees and after being in the water, hard to tell. A blondish color wood when freshly carved. The carveing is carved almost the whole length of the 9 inchs and with also. It is left natural with the darker outer layer left intact. This is Bark less and several coats of Deft Satin spray.
Hair id flowing upward and around a knot and the beard and moustash are equally flowing down and outwards.
