Default Finally!!!

I finally managed to grab some 'me' time to attend to this little fellow I started a while ago. He had a rather large split in the head, threatening to ruin the entire piece. I didn't actually do anything other than continue shaping it until the split was still noticable, but no longer the threat it appeared to be. I haven't quite finished him...couple of more coats of Danish oil then some bees wax and a buff. Comments and critiques are more than welcome. Joe.

Hi Joe

This is a lovely piece of work you have done and can see how it must have taken you many hours to do.

Thankyou, It's nice to sit here in the UK and look at your pictures and enjoy your work.

Regards
Glyn
