Default The Little Couple

While taking breaks from all my labor on the Friendship Cane #2, I managed to try a couple of Gene Messer's Little People. The little man is 3 inches tall, and his significant other is 2.75 inches tall. These still need to have another close look, and then varnish, but thought I'd show them anyway. The man is based on Gene's YouTube video, but I have to take responsibility for the little woman - can't blame Gene for this one

Claude, they are both great. I wish my flat plane attempt looked that good.

Are you a machine? Friendship cane and this too!

Claude! Outstanding! I even picked up a tip on getting hair on the head which I was having a hard time picking up from Gene's video. Really nice work!

Claude,
Nice job on the little people. Also nice job on all the information that you pass along whether its personal experience and or just helping direct people to a specific link. I have grown to expect you to chime in in one way or another when people ask questions. Believe it or not I check out almost all the links that you provide whether they pertain to me or not. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark
