Great Carving Gene. I really like the soldier, the cigar really set him off.

I really like the angle on the bear's head. It makes him look like he's looking over at you. Nice effect.
The old soldier is cool too. Lot's of personality.
Love seeing your work Gene! Great stuff!

They look great, Gene. Love the overalls on the bear in particular.
