Default sven

I found this guy in the summer 2000 issue of WCI and attempted to copy him
the actual figure lists a bit more than the photograph and in reality he looks in far wrorse shape than the photo he must just tke a flattering picture but I think you can see that he is several sheets into the wind On my agenda now is his wife with her hands on her hips looking mighty disgusted

he is basswood 5 x 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 and was fun to carve
