Default Finished bark spirit
Hello all,
Here is the finished bark spirit I was working on, just finished him. Carved in Cottonwood bark I got from Art Oliver, finished with a coat of Feed-N-Wax. Size: 11 1/2" T x 4" W x 2" thick. I am posting a larger picture in my gallery here on this site, if you want to see it.
Thanks for your comments and for looking!
GaryMc

It's great Gary, I can see now that you put the finish on. Those eyes are perfect. I thought that was a special carving on a special piece of bark. Thanks.

Wow I love the layering of the hair and how the locks lean opposing ways, looks like a field of corn in a breeze
