Default latest NA

Hiall, haven't posted in a while. Just finished putting the final touches on this NA. He is 14 x 8 inches hie name is Face of Steel. Iwanted one more NA. for my wall. He is finished with a stain of mineral spirits mixed with 1 onch of burnt umber oil and the dark minwax for the hair. I feel that I got a little more expression in this one. Thanks for looking your comments are welcome.

so expressive - you've managed to give him a personality and attitude just through the carving. Great job, Feb!

I think it looks great. It may be me but the only thing that really caught my eye was the eye brows where they meet. again, it could be me. Don't get me wrong a great piece.

Hi feb, great to see you posting again!
I really like your 'Face of Steel' very fitting title. The facial and overall caving is just great. You really nailed the mouth perfectly--I'm still working on that part of the face. Super, super job!
