Default Meet Sheamus O'Holleran!

I would like to introduce you all to Sheamus O'Holleran! This kind, gentle, little rascal, has been inhabiting my work bench for a month or so now. He sits about 12" tall on his garden wall, and has a terrible thirst for that Irish nectar, Guinnesses! The little bugger talks non stop, but wouldn't cough up a bit of gold. He was sitting with me at the mall the other day and kept getting me in trouble, making all kinds of smart a**ed remarks at the ladies as they strode by. Just hope and pray that there are no more of these rascals hiding about.

He is carved out of Basswood and the stone wall is Pine.

Bob

Nice job Bob, I have to tip one to that little fella. He doesn't really look like a trouble maker.

I like him, Tom

Ol Shamus looks like he might be a little tipsy and fall over backwards. Lol
Great job!
