Nice piece of work. Yep, that shiney finish does detract from the overal look but it still looks like a winner to me.

You have some nice carvings there. I have a canoe paddle roughed out that I may just turn into a carving myself. Problem is the wood is spruce as I needed a couple of paddles last year to run a river in New Brunswick. Welcome to the site.
