This one is a little something new for me. I almost always carve basswood, but earlier this summer I met up with a fellow forum member ( Scotia Carver) and he gave me a cypress knee. I had heard about them here on the forum, but had never actually seen one let alone carve one. So after putting it off as long as I could I sharpened up the old Stanley #199 and went at it. This was completely new territory for me when it came to carving, burning highlights, sanding and painting; but with a few emails and some advice from Scotia Carver I managed to hack this fellow out . He is 14\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" high ,painted with washes of acrylic and finished with a coat of Lee Valley\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Tried & True . Hope you like him
