This guy was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about this style. I will try another one soon and correct some of the mistakes I made.

Sycamore 18 inches.

Maybe it's just me but when I look at him in profile what comes to my mind is "Fred Flintsone goes Hawiian".

I may redo the stain again on the next one. I've never had good luck getting an even stain on cottonwood without multiple coats. By then, it's darker than I like.

"Tetahi Mate" cottonwood 34 inches
