Default Female Finished
Hi guys I finally finished the project, if you seen my other post you know I had a few problems, mostly the eyes. the Irishman suggested that I take everthing in the eye area out and go deeper, but I was afraid to do it, it was a really bad piece of basswood my friend at carving Carl Borst working with me and helped me fix the problem, another friend Bill Johnsen, turned the base for me. (finish) for the head I used 3 coats Krylon mattie finish and the Howards feed& wax the base used lacquer and the feed and wax. The head basswood the base is butternut. thanks for looking comments alys welcome good or critical.

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.

Truly a female face. Very well done. Pat yourself on the back. You have made it look easy.... Not for me yet.
