Default My latest wood spirit

I just finished working on this wood spirit I had in my head for too long, and all it could need maybe is another coat of Tung Oil (I only applied 1 coat as a try) to add more color to the wood, but not too much to keep the background light.

I am still not sure about this natural wood color though. Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Gilles

Thanks for the good comments,

I took it with me to the Easter meal today, and had good comments from the family. I had to tell the story behind wood spirits those those who didn't know the meaning of these guys, and the way I feel about them.

I like to tell about them, but it makes me feel old, telling tales of the past to younger people...

Gilles
