Default Lest we forget
Here's that carving I mentioned in an earlier post of a soldier in a 2nd world war uniform. Standing in front of a Legion Memorial. I hope to have it painted by Nov 11th when the last 6 remaining WW2 vets will unveil it. The carving is about 9' tall, the soldier is 7' tall of White Pine.

That is beautiful and brought a tear to my eyes. You have caught the "common man hero" perfectly.

I always enjoy seeing your work. That one is right up there with the others. Please include photos of the ceremony when the six remaining soldiers from WW2 stand with it. That will certainly be a moment to cherish. Thanks for showing it to us. Can't wait to see it with the finish on it.
