I was inspired by the artwork Swampfire had created for their home bar and wanted to incorporate my carving into it. Here is the original logo Here is my contribution Made from solid mahogany with a dark walnut stain and 4 coats of satin laquer. Hand buffed for the final look. He is about 20-22 inches long and 14-16 inches tall [ Edited by: monkeyman 2006-06-18 19:39 ]
