Default Mt. Man,Wizard...Not sure yet...Finished

Here is the finished product. Pic #1 is the WIP, Pic #2 is after finishing paint and applying the BLO, Pic #3 is after I applied a Satin Wax finish. After only having started carving, seriously, for about 2 months, I think he turned out pretty good! Of course, I'm a little prodigious. LOL Comments, suggestion or anything else are appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Chuck

great stuff pal. Keep it up. I haven't been carving all that long myself, but I have found this place to be very helpful, and full of good people.

I love it Chuck! I think it looks great for any amount of time but for such a new carver this is very good. Excellent piece period. Keep them coming! Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding job for carving such a short time. I would not have guessed that you only got started into carving. Look forward to seeing your future work.
