Thumbs up Re: Herman the Human Canonball
I like everything about him. The detail and the painting both are good.
Keep it up.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Thanks again Claude, Mark and Corey!
I'm trying to come up with a few humourous ideas for figures. I must admit this wee guy made me smile a bit as I was carving him! Thanks!

Great carving. Reminds me of that old Ray Stevens song "Hugo the Human Cannonball". Watch out for those bleachers Herman!!!
