Too cool. Like that sailor was encased in wood and you slowly released him back to life

This is my absolute favorite format. It’s so relaxing. The detail is incredible. Personally, I wish you had a longer version I love it so much ❤

Something so satisfying about watching cottonwood bark being carved. Your end all creation is always nothing short of Amazing. I love the pipe and the way you left the bark on the bottom left beard. 🙌🏻Bravo Alec! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
