Wow! Now that's some fine workmanship -- your friend is very talented. How big is the statue? It looks like it may be quite big.

I have no idea how big the image is but here is a picture when a priest blessed it.

Manly. Regal. Great statue.

Awesome.  I've always liked the realism of the Spanish style statues (which of course went to her colonies)

We need more like this!
"All the good works in the world are not equal to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass because they are the works of men; but the Mass is the work of God. Martyrdom is nothing in comparison for it is but the sacrifice of man to God; but the Mass is the sacrifice of God for man." - St. John Vianney

This is my favorite of his works. Our Lady of Mt Carmel with Carmelite saints.

They are all wearing scapulars. Scapulars are actually really big, like in the pics. We get to wear the little ones since we are lay people.

Of course, there is nothing more imposing than a nun in a Cornette.
