Smile Small Native American Indian
Art has been working on finishing this small Native American Indian out of cottonwood bark, for a Christmas Exchange for My Family. It will go to someone that he knows so he is happy about that! The carving is 5" high X 31/2" wide X 2" thick. I took pictures before he put it on a base and then after. Art made the base out of cottonwood bark. Surprise right! A few touch ups, sealing and signing and it will be ready to go! Thanks for looking!

Hi Dorothy, Art is still turning out some nice carvings. That Indian goes perfect with the base.

You both have a Merry Christmas. Tom

It almost looks like a clay or bronze sculpture. Really fine work.
