Default Martha and Bushman

Finally got A wife carved for Jethro, (Martha). I based her on Gene's Sadie..... but left her with a bit more wood! LOL! My wife says her boobs are way too big! ............... I just put it down to jealousy!! LOL!
My brother is over from Australia at the moment and says the wee guy looks like a Bushman...... so if the hat fits!!!

G'day Simon,
you are a "natural" at this carving lark, they are a great looking couple. I'm inclined to agree with your brother, definitely displaced Aussies, in fact I think I know the feller <grin> Thanks for sharing.
John

Thanks guys for taking a look and commenting on my efforts!
A really big thanks to Gene for helping move from the desire to do, to how to do, forever grateful for that!
Forrest, they are 3-1/4" high. I'm pretty much gonna stick to that size, it's a good size for me, any smaller feels too fiddly in my hands.
Thanks again guys, you're all appreciated!

Another great carving, Simon. Your Sadie is certainly better than mine was/is. I guess you failed at the ugly goal. Keep trying :-)
