EZRA C. ROACH
The patriarch of the Roach Family--Ezra C.--has officially taken his rightful place amongst the Roach kin, which presently include (see picture below L to R): Malcom, Bobby Ray, Abner, Wilbur (Willie), Herman, and Ezra C. Like the other family members, Ezra was hand-carved from Basswood using carving knives and chisels. Fine sanding was done with an electric carver using small cone-shaped sanding disks. After completing the sanding, I applied a natural stain to give the hands and face a more natural look. I then painted the rest with acrylic paint. Stay tuned, members yet to be created are: "Beau" the hound dog, Arlo, Benny, Odie, Thelma Lou (the matriarch), and skinny Gertrude (the only daughter).
