Hi Nancy, looks like your off to a good start....what made you decide to carve a wart hog? Just curious--as I choose to paint out of the ordinary critters too. Will look forward to progress updates.

New Year,
Kathy

Hi Kathy,

Actually the wart hog was a request from my sister-in-law, otherwise I may not have ever thought of it. I do like doing the "out of ordinary" animals though. I think there are enough wolves, bears, etc. out there. I do have a Ringtailed Lemur cut out and a bat that I keep putting on hold. Love your horse portrait, all your painting are great. Someday I will carve a horse, I think I keep putting that aside since horses is what I REALLY know . . .so I think deep down I am afraid I might quit carving if I couldn't do a horse well

That Wart Hog looks kinda like an "Arkansas Razorback Hawg".

Don't take this personal, but that Wart Hog is going to be one ugly dude. Seriously, I'm sure you'll do a good job and it will look like it's suppose to look.(Ugly) Enough already! Have fun carving it.

Nancy, I'll watch this one with great interest. A WART HOG, now that's a new one, what a blast that should be to do! I'm really looking forward to your progress on it. I have to carve Santa riding on a big, old hog for my brother this year.

He loves Harley motorcycles and wanted Santa on a Harley. I mentioned it on here and someone jokingly suggested a real hog, instead of a motorcycle. I teased my brother about it and he loved the idea. Me too, carving a big, old hog sure sounds like more fun than a motorcycle.....like I said, I'll be watching your progress on your wart hog with a GREAT deal of interest!!
