Title: Whittled Head for Hiking Staff

Scrap from pine frame crate reinforcement for my washing machine. Nice, straight, long, clean lengths of pine came inside of the box for the new German washer I had purchased a few years ago. I rub down the soft wood with olive oil, cigar ash, and clove paste, and run it through a flame. This hardens the surface a bit, brings out the grain. But make no mistake about it, this is primitive craft, unrefined, and I will not be replacing Michelangelo in the sculpture art history books anytime soon. Tools: small Victorinox knives, especially from the Delemont Collection, which have more belly to the blade.   The eyes are knots of course, and I decided to leave them alone. Ghoulish. Cannot decide if the fellow is an ancient Chaldean like Avraham, a Western Isles Gael from Scotland, an Ethiopian priest, or an Icelandic Viking. I had intended on making a large figured chess set, but, at 65 I don't know if I will live long enough for that.
