Author's Notes about the Carving.

I have been fascinated by the Greenman for many years and have made several attempts at carving them, some relief and others like this one in the round.
I didn't have a particular design for this greenman; I just started chipping away, drawing leaves and features straight onto the wood and, three months later, this is the result.

I quite like the different colour of the heartwood which shows through in several places.
The face was sanded down and the leaves were left with a tooled surface,the carving was finished off with Danish oil and wax.
