Cool wee fella G! I like how the 1/4 round dictates an interesting overall shape; Ive recently noticed that this is how the Tangaroa form is contained(...?)
The way the legs/feet disappear into the base give a good feeling of stability & strength, ie: the carving looks as if it's made to last. Something about that base also makes me think that it wants to be mounted(!) atop something else..? I can almost see him sitting waaay up on his own column/pedestal/pole, observing events from above... Just a thought.

Nice looking set of chisels too G! Glad you're still into it & sharing your work mate. I hope to tackle a few larger works in wood this year & plan to give myself a crash-course via a lot of back-browsing through the pages of you seasoned Woodies. I thank you in advance for your involvement Gman; Im sure I will become even better aquainted with your creations when the time comes.


Next!

Tama :)
