Elderwood

my first attempt at wood carving.
the intent was to just let the 'spirit' of the wood emerge as i work, rather than establish a plan in the beginning. i like the wavy grain of this wood, but a little more challenging to work with. the face reminds me of an aboriginal elder, a fairly simple piece of woodwork but the face speaks a thousand stories. could use a coat of oil/wax
