I'm glad you like. So I got really motivated to carve another. Here is the progress so far. Here is where I almost lost this guy. The log has had over 2 years to dry out. When I darkened the inside of the mouth with the torch there was the normal amount of smoke afterward. I went inside for a drink and sent an email. When I came back out he was really smoking! Seconds after I snapped this pic the smoke turned to flames. I got the flames out ,but had to take a spray bottle to it to get him to stop smoking. Needless to say the inside of the mouth is much deeper now. If had taken a longer break you would be looking at big piece of charcoal.
