Default Small totum pole
This is a whittled totum pole done for a retired barber friend. It's carved out is 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch basswood. Since I finished this one, several other friends have asked for a special totum pole too. I may have started something I'll be sorry for.......But then again maybe not.

Tom you continue to amaze me with your minature carvings!!! I attempted my first minature carving yesterday ( 1 1/2" fish) and had a heck of a time with it even with my magnifying glasses, and minature tools... Again, great work and I'm sure your Barber friend is going to thoroughly enjoy your totem pole. Thanks for sharing the photos of it with us!
