I kept flicking inbetween the three pictures several times and just couldn't make a definitive decision on which one that I'd choose to carve. I'd probably go with the first one because I like the way that you've got his hair parted so nicely and sort of fixed "up" on one side. Looks good!

I'd go for the middel one because although I ain't got no beard we share the same "chrome dome" and wrinkles! Same here! I'd sure like to be in the class.

Hi Mark, there all great looking and thank you for the preview. Now all I have to decide is which one will be best for my novice still level. I'm so looking forward to your class and eager to learn from one of the best.

What a shame that I live so far away...well at least I get to see your pictures. I like a number of things about all of them. The hat from the third person, the eyes from the first one and I like the beard from the middle one. Put them all together and you have my favorite woodspirit. Having said that I like them all. Thanks for continuing to share your work. I get ideas everytime you post.
