... the Old Man from Mount Tahoma.
He cleaned up pretty well and he's grateful for that, but he desperately wants to get out of Washington. He says that he fears that Tahoma or any one of its dangerous cousins is going to blow one of these days. He doesn't want to be buried again or worse, and hopes to be hanging around some babe's neck far away from here. I tried to tell him that that's a bit of a stretch, but he won't listen to it.
Anyway, I had fun working him over even if he's kinda rough-looking. His likeness and especially his eyes make a little more sense in hand.

Sometimes I have a hard time seeing things other people see in the stones- but not this one. Very cool, and I even liked the backstory!  |

Agreed, an Ent.
Very cool, glad you went with your gut and kept him looking his age.

I think your old guy and my old guy should get together -- despite coming from continents apart they might have a lot in common. I'm going to face polish this "face" sometime. Can't cab him because the slab of African Royal Sahara Jasper is sloped on the backside right under critical parts of the pattern.
Great cab -- if I was a Tahoma guy I'd be a little worried about possible future Lahars -- or worse! -- too.  |

I had to look up 'Ent'. I've seen the Rings movies, but I never read the books. Ent seems fitting.

That's a keeper! Sort of reminds me of the Whisperers of the show The Walking Dead.

Great cab -- if I was a Tahoma guy I'd be a little worried about possible future Lahars -- or worse! -- too. , which old guy do you see in your slab? I see two -- The large face (basically the whole light colored part of the slab) that looks like Santa yawning or the small guy right in the middle that looks like Dopey singing Hi Ho? |

I must say this old man is still lost at all the other comments but I do see a face or two. Great cab!

opalpyrexia , Gary, I don't watch that show but the face sure reminds me of my BIL. "Why the long face?" I ask him.

\ hummingbirdstones , I see only one face -- my BIL's. But sometimes he acts a little Dopey. |
