 Native American pics This is a native american in the style of Jeff Phares. The finish is a mistake. I mixed burnt and turp with another bottle that had linseed oil in the mix. it took days to dry. Then i put to many coats of polly and some parts turned light. Guess i was having a bad something i don't want to say day. Click on the url below to view. Thanks Feb

| Re: Native American pics It to me looks better darker than being just a light carving! Native Americans are darker skined anyway. It brings out the details in this Indian more being darker! I think its great work! What type of wood is the Native American & Mtn Man carved in???

| Re: Native American pics Hello Feb, Just catching up on your work - great carvings. You've been busy...and demonstrating some great skill and advancements from your previous carvings (which by the way were also good). Having been away from the site for a number of months, and coming back to see your latest carvings shows that you've learning a few more new tricks of the trade. Based on your pics, the finish looks fine. As was said, the NA skin tends to be darker so it works for you. I hope to post some of my latest carvings soon as I'm working on a braided mustache which is taking me longer than expected. Thanks for sharing your work. Patrick |
