| | Coffee and a toothpick - finished Well, I finished the carving that I had photos of in the WIP folder.
The man is 6 inches high and the base is 1 inch thick.
It is from a single block of basswood. To finish it I used clear sanding sealer with a coat of paste wax.
I'm experimenting with the "plain wood look". I've always liked that look.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I plan to use it as a toothpick holder on my desk at work.
