I just completed this one.
This was carved from a piece of 4" thick bass wood.
She is 8 3/4" tall and 5" wide
I used a pattern I drew up after looking at a lot different reference material.
Then I cut it out on band saw.
I used my largest carving tools to rough out, then I used the palm tools.
Using the biggest tool available to rough out made waste removal go faster.
Comments and questions are appreciated.
I did noticed the mouth was a little low on face after had it cut in. I couldn't change it because I went in deep with the cut and I would have had to take off to much wood to change it.
for looking
