Just finished a new mtn, man. It is 14x9x 4 inches. he is made from basswood, the guy said it was down for a year but it was still damp and sringy in places. For basswood it had some nice lines so i just finished it with 3 coats of Deft semi- gloss. I still can put light or dark wax on it but can't make up my mind. What do you think? Click below to veiw.

Feb, I think and it is just my opinion that a dark wax like you stated will bring out the details more. Or darken the detail up a little with whatever. However, I do like it like it is also. Excellent job.

Feb, that's a mightly nice looking mountain man! The detailing is fabulous. I'm with Vic. I think I would go with the light wax. Either way, that's very nice work!

Feb, Very nice. Looks like this one has just had, or is expecting to have a happy experience. I tend to agree with the darker wax for finishing. I personally like the darker carvings, because they look aged. But your carving works very well the way you did it. Great job.. Tom H
