Cigar smokin Hillbilly & sidekick

[tucker1931]

Heres a couple I've been workin on, the big guy is 8 inches and the little fella is 4 inches both of bass wood. Sorry for the lousy pics, I shot them on my cluttered desk top. Comments welcome. I finally figured out how to carve eyes, just cover 'em up with hair, it's easy.

Perhaps it's Homer and Jethro...my mom and dad had a couple of their comedy albums. I still remember the lyrics..."Her teeth were like the stars above, because they came out every night!"

Re: Cigar smokin Hillbilly & sidekick

Many Many thanks to all that have responded to my meager attempts at wood carving. It means a lot to here from all of you. I do feel I'm getting a little better with each piece but realize I've got a long way to go but, hey, I'm havin fun. I can assure you all, "I will never put a gloss finish on another piece"
