The 7000 series was a good idea gone bad for McKenzie. The neck juncture with the jaw was too radical and with late season/Northern tier deer, you ended up with a cut throat appearance. Only by adding clay or foam to contour this juncture could the problem be solved. They did modify later versions, but I THINK they discontinued that series shortly thereafter.
Cut off the head and bring it forward and raise the chin slightly. Better yet, buy a newer one.
i think ill just buy a new one that sounds the easiest,and use this to practice the eyes on.thanks
You can also use it to carve fish bodies or small mammals with, ect.
These old forms make great rocks.
