After what can only be described as "a week from hell" I really needed to finish something to remind myself that I still actually carve for a living. This guy has been taunting me for weeks - making me think carefully about every step, and always begging for a little more work just when I thought he was done. I don't know if I'd describe making this piece as "fun", but it sure taught me a few things and increased my respect tenfold for the designers and carvers of the original statues.
