Default Butternut Men for Daughters
I wasn't going to do another Butternut Man but the Daughters liked the first one so these are it. I didn't didn't carve it in the round but did dish out the back to show the Wood Grain. They are 3"x6"x7" and finished with just Poly-U and Feed-N-Wax. This made them a little lighter than the first one, which I like better. 2 Xmas gifts down, couple more to go. Merle
