Project Information

This is #5 of these roughouts by Chris Hammack that I purchased a year ago at a carving seminar. His designs are a lot of fun and challenging for me to carve because of all the deep cuts and details. The carving is about 4 1/2 inches tall, but the depth of the nose is 3/4 inch! After I get this guy painted up, it will complete my bar scene. I'm looking for opinions: cigarette or no cigarette? Which do you like better? Thanks for looking!

I vote for cigarette but I bet he has a pouch of Red Man chewing tobacco in his pocket.
