Jeff Phares is well-known for his realistic carvings of Native Americans,
frontiersmen and soliders.  He has written 4 books covering the human
face.
Everyone started with an 8"x8"x15" block of butternut and was allowed
to choose what they wished to carve.  Eight students decided to carve a
dual-bust of indians or cowboys.  Three of us went with a mountain man.
Many months later...
the finished bust.
