Excellent carving, Doris. Beautifully done, as always. Bravo!

A beautiful serene piece, Doris. I'm glad you kept working on it.

Very nice Doris, is that Dark Watco Wax you used to stain it. I really like how it came out.

mark, yes i understand the analogy with the elegant woman :-) ... i never would have thought i would recarve a piece, but this one was "recarve it or throw it in fire" and provided a great lesson. ,,, so glad i learned it, "if it not looks good carve on, even if you first thought "now only waxing and then finished""..:-)...its finished only when it pleases you for that moment (what comes days later is another story....lol...)
sharon you are welcome, i am so very glad when my little tellings and showings are helpful :-)
susieq, thank you :-)
joy, yes i am glad too, you can imagine how i was shocked when i saw the mess, and now am happy with it :-)
mel, it is brown briwax, but a very old can, dont know if that is still available for purchase. it was bought originally in britain.

thank you all for your kind comments, i am glad you enjoy the piece, and i appreciate hearing from you :-)
