Default Christ figure finished
A while back I had posted a carving of Christ I was working on I ended up getting a commission to make another.
So I started on my second and here it is.
The figure is 27" tall and made from Spanish cedar 4/4 boards glued up.
The cross is teak.
I finished it with 2 light coats of deft satin sprayed from a gun. I then steel wooled it and rubbed a light coat of watco Danish oil to even the sheen.
The crown was made from my rosebush I steamed the branches till they were pliable enough to weave together.
