It comes to us all

Here are a couple of old folks I just finished carving.  They say the longer we live with someone the more we start looking like each other, and in this case it's true.  Last month I took a two day class from Chris Hammack and chose this rough-out as my project.  I carved the old man in class and just had to buy another rough-out so I could carve his partner.  Both were carved from the same rough-out.

I get a chuckle each time I look at them, and they bring a smile to everyone that sees them.  I enjoy working on my own designs, however I learn a lot carving someone else's rough-out.  Chris has really caught the essence of these two old folks.
