A Scandinavian in America

The source of this pattern is obscure. Suffice to say that he is one of the old country sons and can be seen in Scandinavian festivals throughout the Midwest of the US.
Lofty

In this instance I have broken some rules and mixed flat plane carving with some of my own style.
                                                          
Wood: Lime (Tilia x europea)

Height: 18.5 cms
Lofty
Finish: Linseed oil and beeswax

I used this occasion to practice a few stylized folds which worked out quite well.
