OK its been a little busy around the household lately. Here is the finished Cannibal. This guy will be in the Skull Sessions show at the Bird and Bear gallery (www.bearandbird.com) here in Fort Lauderdale, opening October 26.

I had some problems with the wood - at first I loved it then it turned on me. Its carved in White Pine and it carves like butter but can be a bit chippy. The victim originally had an elaborate nose that crumbled off several times (yes, I did try using glue). I originally was carving this for fun then decided to meet the shows deadline, so he's not as elaborate as I originally wanted. That's OK because the color of the wood grain would have overpowered any small details. All in all I really like this one and hope some of you go see the show. I will have better photos after the show. Thanks
