| | Little Red Tail..... Here's one in basswood.....just carved with single edged tools. No sanding, of course. The circle is 4 1/2" dia. Oil stains for the colors and a clear of urethane will be applied when it's dry.
Hope you like it.
Thanks,
Joe

| | Re: Little Red Tail..... Nice work. Incredible detail on such a small carving. Throwing that quarter in there is a nice touch for the photo. Giving the size is one thing, but, using something so familiar for perspective really adds to it. |
