Default Mini Preacherman

I just finished carving this little guy. My friend looked at him and said he looked like a preacher because he was smiling... so, I figured what the heck.

He's 3 3/4" high. Comments and critiques welcome.

Thanks guys for the kind words. I'm having a blast carving. I'm even in the process of making myself some razor knives. I have the handles cut out and the holes drilled. I will start on the blades in a few days, but right now it's hot out so I'm stuck in the house.

I'll post pictures of the little guy when I get him painted.

Ed
