Well its been a while since I've updated because I haven't done much carving lately. I lost my Father to cancer on April 29th and I just haven't really felt like it.

That being said you cant grieve forever and life goes on so I've picked the tools back up and I've finally made a little more progress. I plan on finishing this guy in the next 3-4 weeks if possible.
I managed to rough in his body. I still have to do some fixing on the sides and come up with a back design before I can start sanding and finishing. I think some of you guys have completed 4-5 carves since I've started this one.

I really wish I wouldnt have carved the back of his eye the way I did. Its putting a serious damper on how I want to finish him now.
Oh well. I'll just have to work around it.

I cant wait to see how he turns out after I do some details around his headdress.

I hope to do some work on his feet this Sunday. Thanks for looking.
