A Taste Of Leavenworth

I carved this prison scene from basswood. The base is pine framed with black walnut. To reduce waste the convict was carved from three pieces of basswood laminated together. The height of the man is 9 1/2 inches and the overall height of the entire piece is about a foot. The ball and chain are also of basswood.

Above is a view from the front.
