Lynn, you make it look so easy. They say that's the sign of a pro., and you certainly are. Thanks for the lesson. I did notice your old trusty carving tool. Amazing.

Got this guy wrapped up today....at least the carving part. I decided to make him a bust as, with his fairly elongated head, he would be just a little too large with a body. I turned the base out of Butternut. Should be a nice little piece once it's painted. I've posted a few more photos on the blog of different angles.

Thanks Lynn, that's another great carving and another great lesson. For those may not know just how much you carve, they should check out your knife in your posted photo of the sketch. The finish on the knife did not get worn off sitting on the shelf...Thanks again, Tom H

anyone familiar with your work can see your influence in some my carvings posted on this board.

thanks for sharing and keep it up
