Finally got around to carving a piece of that Arizona cottonwood bark. Once past the flake and grit from the outside surface, this was a solid piece. Very nice to carve. I found a mountain man hiding in this one. I finished him with Deft Satin, and a coat of Feed-N-Wax. Comments welcome.

Driftwood Spirit

Carved this from a cedar root several years ago. It has been outside and needed a face lift, so I re-carved it and sealed with spar urethane.

Standing Bear

Carved this little bear, for my great niece, from 1 5/8" basswood. He stands 5 1/2" tall. finished with acrylics.

Cottonwood Bark

Was glad to see the mail carrier today. Finally got my order of cottonwood bark from Arizona. This is some of the biggest bark I have seen, the largest piece is 5" wide and 4" thick. Can't wait to start carving on this, but I have a couple projects to finish first.

Country Boy

Carved this little guy from 1 5/8" basswood, he measures 5 1/4" tall. I used acrylic washes for the color. This is another one for my great nephew.
