My Finished Carving Luther the washtub player

 I had the privilege of taking a week long course with Marv Kaisersatt it was on design of your own idea . We started the week making a clay model of our design.We then used that to make a pattern on our wood . If you ever get a chance to do a class with Marv do it he is an excellent teacher . The rest of the week he gave us pointers on face and body positioning .This is the end result hope you like.
