Flat Plane Civil War Preacher

[gene-messer]

Here is a flat plane civil war figure my church wanted me to do for my pastors 3 year anniversary .. he loves the civil war and wanted a preacher of the civil war .. but most preachers were just solider's or officers who prayed with the men or read the word of God to them .. so i carved the confederate solider ( Of course iam from Texas) as a worn out fighting man with dirty clothing and a ragged look .. as I see the confederate solider in most books ..A Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other
I hope he likes it

Wonderful carving, Gene....it says a lot, and I think you achieved what you were striving for. I think it's a pretty powerful little piece of flat plane work! Really nice job.....he should love it. Bonnie

Gene, That's a special one. Not just because it's for a preacher, but because of all you put into it. Very well done and finished. I love this one.
