How are we doing on this guy Craig? He's looking mighty nice! I can't wait to see what you can do with those new toolz! I'll be up at HQ again in December, maybe we can carve together again?

Thanks benella, seek, benz, A.A., conga, and G for checking him out and for the encouragement!
G- glad you got your puter working again! December, you better believe it! Let me know. I'll probably get some carving time at the end of this week through the weekend. I just got a Hawaiian sculpture book so I'm trying to figure out how I want to do the rest of him.
Thanks,
Craig

some nose work (still a lot of shaping), messed up the eyes but I think I know what to do now to make it work (The eyes you are seeing is just leftover of me shaving what I had down)????

Rockin! Don't worry about that crack - it will barely seen once he is finished. Just be careful around it and keep the superglue gel handy. I'm loving this one.

A little more face! I think he is starting to look more pissed. Getting the brows a bit more deeper and the scrunch above his nose should do it???

Big B.K. thanks for checking him out!!!!
G- I'll give you a ring tomorrow after work. Thanks for the comps too! It's going slow , it's cracking all over the place but I think it is manageable and it might turn out cool in the end?

Craig,
That looks sharp man! I love the way you have really jumped in and pulled out those facial features. That face is dead on. Sweet! It looks like you can bring the bottom of his legs in a bit just above the ankle on the backside. If you do that you'll have enough wood to get the back of his foot bumped out and give it a very realistic look. Look at your own feetz before you get to chippin'
-G

WOW, Craig, take your time, don't hurry up. It is indeed very sharp but you can do something very nice.
The cracks will make it even more beautiful, dude. I know you'll make it right, just take your time.
Benjamin.
