Thought I'd have some fun with this one, it's one of Genes tutorials on carving a simple hillbilly from a block of wood. He's 6 inches tall and I may have altered him a little. Thanks Gene for being my inspiration I only wish I could get UTUBE on my dang phone line.

Nice touch Cliff, looks like you took an outside picture, so I guess your back on your feet walking all around, great news and keep the wood chips flying. Bill

With all that new basswood that got dropped off you'll have plenty of blocks of wood to carve out Hillbilly's. He's a fine looking character Cliff.
