| | Re: Finish Thank you all for the complements. Merry Christmas everyone!
Nancy-CA, I'm a new member as well, only been on about a month. I've been carving for about five years but I've really stepped it up this last two years.
Gary, I'd like to see your Indian.
Again thank all for the complemnts.

| | Re: Finish Gary, I'd like to see your Indian.
My version is not very good, i carved him about 4 years ago, and could do better now, but I gave him to my daughters, Father-in-law and he loved it. He is about 5" tall out of Basswood Picture below.

| | Re: Finish Dylan, really nice job. I have the book and hope to give it a try once I improve my skills. I have a way to go before I will have the confidence to tackle this project! Thanks for sharing.

| | Re: Finish I am very impressed. How did you finish this pc? I like the natural finish but I am sure it looks great either way.

| | Re: Finish Greg, I finished it with three coats of Deft. I'd wanted to paint it but for once it sold before I was finished with it and the buyer like the natural wood. He'd have taken it woth no finish at all if I let him. I must say that GaryMc's ![003[1]243](http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/forum/images/smilies/003[1]243.gif) looks great with the paint and 5" tall.
