A Close Call

Here's one I did demonstrating carving down at the local Community Center yesterday and today. I had a hat blank left over from the Gabby project so I passed it on to this fortunate Corporal who stuck his head up just a bit too far. I think he turned out real well. Stands about 12" tall with the base which is made out of Sycamore. I was thinking of putting in a few extra arrows but decided the one was enough to carry the thought.  Several more photos in the Gallery.   Hope you like him and your comments are welcome as always

    Great carving Lynn, you got the expression just right! I was looking in the Video Gallery and looked at the OutWest Gallery Tour (your first video). You mentioned you still needed to do Curly and his Girlfriend for the Oklahoma scene. That would be a good video and would kill 2 birds with one stone. If you haven't completed it. Just a thought for you next video. Thanks Again!

    Lynn and Judy, I hope everything is ok with you, I'm starting to get worried, haven't heard from you in a while. Do we need to send out a search party for you?
    Just teasing... hope all is well and hope to see you soon.
