Hello and good morning all.
Today, I'm going to try to make up for my last 2 posts, which for some reason, didn't get much feedback here.

I have a really good customer locally that works in management at the St. Jude Children's Hospital. He commissioned me to carve this St . Jude.

Here I will share the beginning and the end with a few cuts in between.

This is the blocked out stage...lightened the log enough to drag him inside.

Here is a shot with what I was using as reference.

Dragged him in and started on the details...

Here I added the flame on top of his head, along with more detailing.

Not long after, I started to paint him..using minimal paint as to not over do it.

Finished off with varnish to complete...

Then delivered him to his forever home..placed him on a stump near an angel that I previously carved for my customer.
