Garymac from what Colin said you must have carved your indian into a cane. Can you give me a description so I can build the picture in my mind?

Hello Ron, No he is carved in a piece of Butternutt, driftwood. But the face is small enough to carve on a stick, it is 5" long x 2" wide. Go to the gallery and I will post a large picture there you might can see.
