Default Face in Babine Bark
This is my first face in a year, and my first effort in Babine. It fuzzs up real bad. Won't even sand very good. I might like American cottonwood better. A little more "clean-up" and some drark brown wax and it's finished.

John never carved a wood spirit but yours is looking good. That skull in the back groud looks pretty sharp.

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.
