Old Stonewall seems a little long in the face but I think he sure looks impressive. This figure stands about 15" tall including the base. I really got interested in him and literally whipped him out in a day of hard carving. Unfortunately, I paid for it later that evening and throughout the night with a very painful wrist.

About the only thing I still have to do aside from applying some paint is to make a new base and add some gold braid to his hat. Most of the photos of him I could dig up only showed him wearing a Kipi but I wanted to do something a little more striking so I gave him a cavalry Stetson. It should really frame his head once painted.

ReplyDeleteLynn, I'd say this is one of your best yet. I can't wait to see him all painted up.
ReplyDeleteI can almost hear him saying (in fluent Senator Craghorn), "Son!..I say, Son!...where are those Damn Yankees, anyway. Ya sed they'd be here, bah now an' they ain't.":-)
Hey, Carvin' Tom,
ReplyDeleteAre you serious? It's a wood carving! Get a life! Are there any other voices you hear?
