Thanks for the kind words guys.
Whittlin' heads and faces is a lot of fun. I just can't quit!

Here's a weird whittlin' that I carved some time ago but just recently painted.
I call it "A Fish With Attitude"

A few more caricatures

Some out of cottonwood bark.
The one is a practice piece for doing a female face, which I always find a lot more difficult than a male face. (Am I allowed to use those terms these days?)

Hopefully, y'all can detect the difference.

(There are people who have trouble with this these days.)

Always love your work. And she looks like a girl. Excellent!

Well, I must have hit the wrong button somehow, and lost what I was trying to post.
Tying again.
A friend decided that he wanted to create a Biblical scene in his yard. Specifically the one recorded in Exodus 17:6, where God told Moses to strike the rock and water would come out.
The friend set about drilling a hole in a rock, and I got a piece of aspen that had thoughtfully been provided by some local beavers, and began whacking away at it with mallet and gouges, to produce Moses.
Here he is, almost 2 ft. tall, ready for installation with the fountain.

Do you use power to carve,or just to rough out and then gouges to detail in?
