Default Another Cedar Portrait

This is the one I said I'd have done by the weekend, well the carving anyway. I thought I'd show this before and after the finish went on to see if there were any preferences. I think a little color sets it off somewhat, but I been told some like it the natural way. opinions welcome. This is with (1) coat of sealer only.

Grat looking job! It'll look good either way. If you do color, I would suggest a very light wash of acrylics.
