Thanks for compliments. He is 10" tall and carved out of Black Walnut. I have been wrestling the idea of carving all the way thru the crown - it is hollow but not that thin. There are a few cracks around the top of the crown that were already there when I started carving - so I'm not sure if the wood can take the stress. That will probably be a decision made on the fly. i should be done carving on this guy soon - now comes the hard part for me - finishing.
