Great work – really detailed!

If this is a depiction of Adam, shouldn’t the wood have been a lot darker? Something like Bubinga or Mahogany?

hi very nice piece of carving great detail in it

you do really inspiring work. i really like the emotion in his face

It’s a wonderful piece, no doubt about it. BUT….. I noticed one thing :). Ahhhh I’m sorry but I think there’s one mistake in your piece. If he is a representation of Adam, shouldn’t he be circumcised?

I’ve clarified the description a bit… I never intended it to be Adam, that was how it was interpreted by some, including the man who bought it. A friend had even made him a fig leaf to wear when doing family craft shows! On another note, I’m certainly not a biblical scholar, but if Adam and Even were the first two people, could a mohel have been found to perform a circumcision?...

I’m not familiar with the word “moil” so I looked at up at the dictionary and it means hard work, drudgery, confusion, and turmoil. So I’m confuse. Could you please elaborate what you mean by “could a moil have been found to perform circumcision”. Thanks.

It was a spelling mistake, i meant mohel, the Rabbi trained in the circumcision ritual. i corrected the speling in the original post. thanks
