Man o' the Forest...or Greenman

Man o' the Forest...or Greenman

this is the breaking point of the limb that fell off of the cottonwood in an ice storm two winters ago... When I saw the pattern in the wood I was surprised.. I added three small details.. eyes, nosetip and lower lip...lol. I had to do some light sanding to remove the worst splinters...

Seriously, speaking as a (not very good/amateur) photographer, It would be interesting to see the 'faces' it would pull in different light angles/shades
Could offer some good shots.

But first, where's the other half of it ?
Not still rooted is it ? (That'll be the tour stuffed then ! )

The rest of the branch is turned upside down, three branches make a tri-pod of sorts and my honeysuckle is leaning rather heavily upon it.. Will post a pic!! No worries ...tours welcome...hahaha
