buffalo robe NA finished

[feb]

Hi, I finished this project and and all my problems with the horns and the fur seemed to work out ok. I did have a problem with the finish not drying and dialed the number on the can. I guess i wasn't supposed to use spar urethane over burnt umber and mineril spirits, but it finaly dried after 2 days. Any comments good or bad welcome.

Great look you gave him Feb. The headress and horns add a nice touch...something I would like to try. Your getting very adept at carving NAs. Have you considered some western style carvings...besides the bushman you have carved?

Patric thankyou for your coments. I'm not sure what you mean by western style , do you mean like a cowboy bust or caractures in a small setting, something like lynn does.

Feb, I'm thinking more like what Jeff Phares has in his book. I believe you have his book as I see a pattern you have carved (NA Indian with a critter on his head) in your gallery. It's more like cowboy style carving I am thinking about.

Feb,

Very nice carving, the face has a fantastic stern look about him and the size of his buffalo head piece is just perfect, great carving well done. Bill

Thanks to all for your nice comments, and Patrick I think I just might try a big cowboy I have a nice piece of catalpa but it needs some trimming up first.
