Hi Aall, just finished this carving thought I'ed show you before i stained it. It is basswood and 9x15x4 inches. Been workin very hard to get this finished before our snowbird dinner on tuesday. By the time i clean it up a little more stain and put a coat or 3 of deft I think I'll just about make it. I got a little carried with wrinkles, but i like it . Comments welcome.

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.

If you add some dark satin wax after you seal it, it will help bring out those wrinkles even more. Like how the feathers are attached to the side...nice change from the norm. Be sure to post when you finish it. Now I have to go fix this crook in my neck.
