    I had a bunch of old scrap wood and furniture pieces laying around, so instead of throwing it away I put my imagination to work!

    He guards my shop at night!

    Great work. But why does he look so sad? I'd be happy to stand guard over the workshop that created such a lovely piece of work. :stew2:

    Interesting. He does look kind of scary though.

    A very inventive way to use up scraps but, I agree, he does look rather glum.

    Looks very stern and wise GDC. Reminds me of "Clockwork Knight", an old computer game character back in the day.

    Yup he is fantastic. I think the reason he looks so stern is that he let's intruders know not to mess with him. :stew1:

    This is a 8'x8' barn quilt I was commissioned to paint. It is now hanging in Adams TN., on a black barn.

    If I had a barn I'd have to have a barn quilt. Very nice.
