Driftwood quickie

[Dan Wegiel]

This piece of driftwood has been laying on my workbench for over a year so I finally decided to see how bad I could mess it up. He's 13" long and I decided not to give it much detail. Hope you enjoy.

Hi Sharon,

Thanks for the kind words, I only did him because I am bummed out about another piece of cherry that I saw this beautiful Elephant in and after about two hours of carving my gouge poked right into the center, a very large hole in the middle and so I'll have to change it to something else, we'll see what happens.

Hi Dan, your driftwood spirit looks great, and yes they have to sleep too! I like the simplicity also and it looks like he has found a home.
