“I carved this one yesterday at our weekly carving session down at the Community Center. I had started him as a demonstration piece during my short seminar at the Tulsa show.

His name is Santiago. He’s the worthless brother of Pancho who, when not running illegals across the border, spends his time hanging out at the local Cantina downing shots of Pulque, sucking on cheap cheroots while planning his next unlawful escapade. I have no doubt whatsoever that he will meet a sad and probably violent end.

I carved Pancho’s sombrero with the front turned up so I thought I’d do Santiago’s with the back turned up and tipped toward the front to give him more of a “up to no good” look. I think it accomplishes that. Anyway, I hope you like him even though he’s probably planning on a way to cheat you out of a few more pesos.
Several more photos in the gallery and comments are welcome.”
