Old Stonewall seems a little long in the face but I think he sure looks impressive. This figure stands about 15″ tall including the base. I really got interested in him and literally whipped him out in a day of hard carving. Unfortunately, I paid for it later that evening and throughout the night with a very painful wrist.
About the only thing I still have to do aside from applying some paint is to make a new base and add some gold braid to his hat. Most of the photos of him I could dig up only showed him wearing a Kipi but I wanted to do something a little more striking so I gave him a cavalry Stetson. It should really frame his head once painted.
 
Comments welcome.

I might be a little man in a big world but on our 30 acres I'm the one in charge when the wife's not around!
