Cy/Will – I’m pretty happy with the carve but I may refinish him this summer.
And I did not carve the hat Will …it’s an accessory. Might be why my smart ass neighbor is always giving me crap about “playing with dolls”.
So, here’s the other two “Lost Menehune”. The first one is 12 inches.

And the second one is 10 inches.

If you should happen to see this Proffessor G, these photos were taken at Matagorda. After leaving the beach , I was idling down a levee to cross a marsh a short distance away, I ran across this fellow and a few of his friends. I quit taking photos after the 10th one I came upon. I plan on going back to that location when I have more time.

At some point I began to refer to the three Menehune as “Los Lonely Boys” after a regional band and decided they need some company. I somehow became distracted and failed to leave enough wood to carve her some hair. I’ll have to try to figure something out to correct that.
Thanks for lookin in’
