I decided on another Mountain Man and here's the progress so far. The body and base are finished and I started working on the head this morning. That's a corncob pipe in his mouth and he will be wearing a hat....yet to be determined what kind. Hopefully, I can get him done in the next few days as I'd like to finish one more in addition to him before striking out for the Dayton show. I really like the way this is headed but most importantly I like being able to get back to carving.
Really like this guy already. The long beard and exposed forehead give him a unique 'well used' old mountain man look. Should look spiffy when painted. Glad to see you're back hacking at some wood.

ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a great one,love everything about him.Would have been a good video.The new eyes are sure working great.
ReplyDeleteLooks great can't wait to see him in person at Dayton. I think a Fox skin hat would look nice on him.
ReplyDeleteLove it ~~~I gotta visit that museum some day ~~~~~
ReplyDeleteLooks good so far but I think the knife is too large. It's a distraction . Corn pipe ok but the knife, I'm not sure. Sorry That's just my opinion. Ginny ( but what do I know?)
