 Cedar Box Turtle Here's my latest piece of work, just finished it today. It's made out of western cedar and is 5 in. long, 3 in. wide and 2 in. tall. The grain runs the 3 in. length, a mistake that I won't repeat. I burned the markings on the shell and painted the head and legs with oil paints. I finished it with polyurethane. Dylan  |

| Re: Cedar Box Turtle Thanks for the compliments. They mean more then you know. Al, I think that this is the red. All I really know is that it's not the local eastern cedar. Bob, the male's have red eyes and female's have yellow-brown eyes. There are other ways to tell the different. But I don't know them. I painted this one to be male. Dylan |
