Thanks for all the encouragement.
I've got too many incomplete projects so I'm going to quit tinkering with this one and call him finished.

Very cool Amate...I agree with Hilda...love the lines. How big is this one...He looks a bit bigger than some of your little fellers.

Great carve! I love the color tone on this. He is deceptively large looking. Kudos to you man.

I'm in full agreement with the other posts about this marq. Great lines! Curious what kind of wood he's carved from?
Finding lots of ideas and inspiration from your thread. Thanks for sharing!

Big T. I finished this one three different ways before I backed off of him. I just got lucky on the color.
Whos – Thanks for stopping by for a look. This was a nice piece of mahogany and warranted some extra effort. I’m usually too impatient and undisciplined to take a carve to this level. I guess I just have to prove to myself I can do it every once in a while.
