Default Meet "Wiffer"
Hi all,

This is Wiffer, he reminds me of an old burnt out Hippie. Started whacking away at this piece of spalted maple that was split for firewood and he showed up. He's 11" tall and 5" wide, hand carved with only natural danish oil applied, no sanding because I didn't want to breathe the toxic dust. All comments very much appreciated and thanks for checking him out.
Dan

Hi John and thanks for the nice words, I believe you're right, he smoked way too much.

Can't tell if he is a Troll, or a Hippie Dan, but he is very cool man.

I like him, Tom
