This depicts one of our ancestors from about 1.3 million years ago. Although i swear i worked with a fellow of striking resemblance in the early 90’s. I power carved him out of Heart Pine (hey what can i say, i gotta use it up).
Hes accompanied in the picture by my rock collection i’ve aquired from everywhere i go and keep in a wok on my table.

Yikes! Nice carving Miles, but do you ever feel he’s, like, watching you? :)

Miles, this is pretty good. You certainly put some authentic details in this carving.
Are you planning on adding more representatives of the Homo genus?
That is an interesting rock collection that you have there as well.

Scott, my dream job would be a 2 year commision to build a full size T Rex skeleton out of wood! I could deal with that. But i may do a Homo Erectus skull next while waiting for the call.

A striking resemblance to my former boss…..well , at least the size of the brain capacity….I always knew he was a blockhead !
Great carving here ….do you really think that two years would be long enough to complete your “dream project” ?
