here is a little basket ball player I made for a high
school graduation present i think the parents
appreciated it more than the graduate

Anybody would appreciate this neat little basketball guy! Nice work and your painting,you hit all the free throws with it.

Nice one, Herb! I like how you did that.

I need to try something similar soon for my niece, except she plays soccer. I'm hoping to carve an "action" scene. We'll see if my skills are up to it. I still have two months.

Thanks Jim and Forrest
BTW I better mention that I blatantly copied Claude's basketball player postedon this forum a few months ago
gving credit where credit is due you know

Nice job on the basketball player. You did good on the carving and the painting.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Glad you were able to copy it, Herb. After I had it done, I discovered my "major error": His legs were too short! Oh, well - my wife loved it anyway and it is sitting on the mantel right now, anxiously awaiting BBall season for her...

Thanks
Mark, wow, you are the first to compliment my painting I must be improving
Claude, The legs may not be too short it s the trunks that are (stylishly) long. mine is a high school kid so he can be a bit shorter tho I can see how really long legs would make for a better caracature

Gene, yes, I checked that our I m proud and have been e mailing my friends and relatives to check out your blog spot maybe we will get even more interest in Flat plane work
