Default Wolf head
I started this out to be a werewolf but as you can see it came out more like a real wolf. It is all grinder and made from old cured cherry two tone stain with two coats of oil. I have around 6 hours in just the carving. The hair texture was done with a rotary saw on a die grinder very fast. The eyes with my home made eye tool on a die grinder.

What does a were wolf really look like anyways...its all up to the interpretation of the viewer. His look is menising enough to give him the were wolf look. He turned out just fine Don - good work.

Looks great as always! I like the nose, looks just like my dogs which used to stare me in the face when I woke up. Cherry looks great!

Love it, Don. Two questions: Did you use the Lancelot chain disc on the grinder, and did you use a sanding disc on the smooth neck part?
