Default Wip and a cople of new ones finished

Hello all,
Been back from my trip to South Dakota for several weeks, found dome bark there. It's not reeal thick and it's hard as a rock but I carved several peices of it so far. Here aer some recent peices that I have done, and one I'm working on now. The Indain is from a peice of bark I brought back From S. Dakota. Also a woodspirit that I carved there from cedar driftwood and gave to my sister-in-law while there. Next is a bark spirit I carved at my carving meeting, and finally a driftwood spirit that I will probably finish tonight some time. Thanks for looking and comments and critques are always welcome!

Great job on all of them, but I agree with Joy that the Indian is outstanding!

I love the roll top desk for a work station.....all those great cubby holes and drawers.

Wow those are great. As I opened them the indian was first and I was going to say it was the best but then I opened the others! All I can say is that each one is unique and really good.

Thanks for sharing!

Greg

They all look great Gary. I've been encouraged to carve drift wood and having seen yours I see the appeal. You have lots a variety in colors and stains - looks good.
