Default Dove from WCI Mag.
I seen were a few members were going to do this Dove and thought I would start a Thread to see how they were making out. How about it Keoma?
Mine is made from Basswood, Woodburned the Feathers, Painted with Acrylic, Finished with 2 coats of Watco Dark WAX. The Eyes are B-Bs, they seemed to work out OK. Merle
