[Woodcarver] life model

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Peter,

What I use for posing clothing is Charley. You can see Charley in my
Webshots link below. He is in the Misc album with is the first one. The
album with you visiting my shop is towards the end if you want to take a
trip down memory lane.

Charley is half-life size. I've dressed him is things like army blanket
material to fine satin. He sits and never complains, never needs a potty
break and will work as many hours as I need him. Most of the dowels for
moving the chest cavity and head are an old broom stick. Hinges and dowels
were used for shoulders. He's been one handy helper for the last 20 years.
