HI Kenny,
The finish is perfect. I like the way you can see the grain through the color.
Good job!
Thor

Great looking little piece Kenny ... I always like nativity's .. and this one is a simple example that just a few pieces can give you that look rather then alot of them ..

Great job ..

Kenny,
I love it! You did a great job on it and I love the painting. It really brings out the wood grain.

Our carving club did a flat plane nativity to donate to the local YMCA this year and we're already starting on the S. Cipa version for next year. Great project.

Stay warm!

Great carvings Kenny, I'm glad to inspire you. I really like how your carvings came out. Be careful these little guys are addictive.
