Default Finished my butternut hound dog.
I got this one done the other day. He's going to Virginia with me as a gift to a friend I'll be staying with for a few days. hHs dog "Jack" is the inspiration for this effort.

You did a great job. Probably the best dog carving I have seen. I really like the natural butternut finish, with just a touch of color.
It is a really good carving.
