Found this old piece of Yew in the Mancave
Was going to cut it up for blanks but it looked too much like an Apache :thinks:
I will call him "TONTO DAVIES "
Left a pen there to give perspective of size
Wot do you think :whistling:

I like the design, Johnny, but feel that the eye should have been in a light brown and not the blue. This is NOT a criticism, because it looks good and will become a focal point wherever it's hung. Well done, matey!
