Default New Carving - lawn chair

This is the lawn chair which I carved for my husband for Christmas. Got the blank chair from Jan.

He loved it and was very surprised with what was at the end of the 2x4 that he kept feeling through the wrapping paper.

Dmatias,
I recognize that pattern from somewhere because I was going to try the same type of carving. Its always nice to receive a personalized item as a gift. He should enjoy his new homemade present. Well done.
Patrick

The pattern is from two different green men (tree spirits) that I liked parts of and put together. I think they were on the free carving pattern site.
