Are these bespoke? Do you do them in a mountain man motif? I can picture one of those in my cave.

Very nice. What do you sharpen your chisels with? I use the torment system for knives, regular chisels, and lathe tools as I don’t hand carve, and I have the up most respect for those that do.

Who would have thought that man was in that tree for all those years and hidden from the untrained eye but Snowy uncovered him! Simply amazing!

I have about 35 or so hours in them. It is all hand carved no chainsaw/electric tools used done the old fashion way one chip at a time. I sharpen tools by hand and very fine grit sand paper. All color is with nature coloring like different colors of soil, berry, bark, coal etc. and oiled. Yes, I do carve some mountain man also.
