Jamie Fraser from Outlander series

[squbrigg]

When I'm not laying planks on the ship model, I'm whittling away on a bust my wife asked me to do. We have been watching the Netflix series "Outlander", based on the book of the same name by Diana Gabaldon, and she likes one of the main characters, Jamie Fraser, played by a Scottish actor called Sam Heughan. A handsome young lad, and should make for an interesting bust. Doing it in Butternut, it stands about 12" tall and 10" wide. It is a work in progress, but is coming right along.

Hey Bob. We have a lot of Bobs here. Lol
This work is very nice. Your lines are crisp and clear. The definition is tastefully done.
What a classy piece. Butternut huh?
Im in lust with butternut and must get some.
It truly is an attractive wood. It's density shows by the natural gleam it offers. Clearly you've finished it but it was obviously not carved from basswood from the first glance
Your wife must be thrilled with your rendition.
Excellent work!

Just so I don't get bored, between planking the ship model and doing chores around the house, I've found time to complete the carving on the Jamie Fraser, cira 1745 bust. Just needs some paint here and there, some oil and we are good to go. More fun.

Well, he came out great

Got to put the paint on him today, between planks. I'm quite happy with the results, but still aim to improve with the next one. Any suggestions?
