Default Trawler fisherman
I just got this guy finished off yesterday! He's 6" tall and mounted on a bit of Elm Burr which I thought looked a bit corkish-ish ! The shirt was a bit of an experiment on doing 'check' but I just quit while I was ahead instead of trying to do a bit more and totally ......... well you know! ! LOL!
He's been at sea 5 days and now staggering around the harbour waiting for his 'sea-legs' to wear off!

Simon,
Another great job. Man looks like I made back just in time to catch another one of your carvings. You did a nice job on both the carving and the painting. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Safe Carving and God Bless
