Default Red Beard the Pirate!
Hello Gang, here is my pirate with some finish on him. I used Tinted Danish oils on him, then did a light wash of Acrylic on the beard and hair to get the right color. He is one of my "off the corner" carvings and is about 5"long and 2" wide!

Hi Gary,
I agree with Fred, especially love the way you get the eyes to look so realistic.

That's cool! Did you consider coloring the eyebrows at all? I know that would have me contemplating do it, or don't do it?
