Outstanding spirit! The nose, cheeks and eyes are perfect. What kind of burner did you use?

Hey, looks really nice, and the wood color really comes though. OK now this is not a plug for RazorTip, just giving my opinion because this is the one I have and really like it. I know there are other units out there--if your planning on buying one check them all out and see which one fits the bill for you. Oh and yes, there is hope you can teach an old dog new tricks--takes more patience. Lol
