18th Century Redneck

[Soggy]

A while back I was approached by a lady and asked if I would carve a bear hunter wearing period costume for her husbands birthday. Usually I flat out turn down any commissions, but this time I decided to give it a try since I know the fellow and shoot with him at the same blackpowder club every Labour Day weekend.
Hope you like him

Oh my goodness! What a wonderful scene! Really nicely done. The look on his face is perfect. Lots of great detail.

[Tom Ellis]

Verry nice Soggy, he looks quite surprised. I suppose he was hunting whatever owns that pair of eyes under the stump.

I like it. Tom

I like it. Tom[/QUOTE]
Tom;... we're not really sure if he's hunting what's under the stump, or what's under the stump is hunting him........... lol
I'm sure you noticed that i'm really enjoying that Chris Hammacks pattern .

Really good, Wayne! Got to laugh at it, especially the critter under the stump. Super expression on the hunter's face.

Wow Wayne! This is really good with a pattern. The fact that you created your own pattern is VERY admirabie. What a great commission job.
It made me smile also and I love the additional eyes peeping under the tree stump. Lol
