If he saw your work, he might come after you! :wink: Just never put a pineapple on the forehead. Wayne really hates when people do that. He started doing that first. That said, your work looks like a lot of other Florida carvers and all goes back to Wayne. If that's what is selling, okay, but, you should really consider a different style. No goofy teeth and lips. It's all very old for us here. The same face on a log with some little thing that makes it different from that one, be it a team logo or other symbol. It's been done to death. If anyone here is going to buy a carving like that, they'd go to Wayne and get the original. [ Edited by: Swanky 2008-09-24 09:47 ]
