Default Oil Spill

This fun but sad carving is 6"W x 11"L x 10"T made from 11 pieces of
Pine board cut out with a scroll saw and glued , it's
mostly natural finish with some stain for the oil spots
and is finished with clear DEFT Lacquer. The leg screw is
set in 5 minute epoxy, after the leg's were carved they got a real
heavy coat of CA glue, that combination made them surprisingly sturdy.
