Some guys and a boot in progress

[Scott78]

Some works in progress, various stages of being finished. The two on the left are the ones where the original white did not dry. The one on the right has a peg leg. The white is stain, not acrylic. Thanks for looking.

Nicely done Scott and your becoming a prolific carver. Again, I'm partial to pipe smokers and associated caricatures...favorite is that fellow.

Thanks, I followed your suggestion to add a little color (orange) to simulate the pipe burning. I’ve found the pipes to be fairly simple and favor the corncob style, as I used to in real life. The window sill where they all sit has a smoking section now...

What technique do you use to get the "corn cob" effect?

I use a pro wood burner with a writing tip (others work too) on it’s side and just touch the wood in rows.
