Coal Miner - Caricature Style

I carved the coal miner from a large piece of basswood. The body and base is one piece of wood. I carved the head seperately and then attached it to the body. The overall height is 16 1/2 inches.


My wifes Dad was a coalminer as well as her brother and brother-in-law. So I am fimilar with coal miners and have heard a lot of coal mining stories.
