I can see you started another one - are you going to put it on a separate thread? It will be interesting to watch the progress again.

Hi Fred, thank you for your nice compliment. I really liked the way this butternut finishes with just Danish Oil, varnish and neutral wax.
YES, I will start a new thread for the carving on my work positioner when I get further along. I still have to start hogging out the wood to get the basic shape doing. Keep your finger's crossed for me, your right it's going to be interesting. Hopefully, a good out come.
Kathy

When I get further along I'll start a WIP thread.

Regarding my Rock Work Positioner.... yesterday, I really gave it a workout and me too. Working with mallet and mallet tools to hogged out and began shaping the Phares step by step Indian project. I found that I had to really be more aggressive with tightening down hard my Rock positioner. Also using my workbench for extra support was very helpful and made my block steadier. So, I really feel once tighten down correctly the Rock is still a good purchase for the money.

Hi Charlotte, thank you so much for your nice compliment. I really earned a lot on this one and first time working with butternut. I love the color when oil is added to the wood.
I bandsawed another block of butternut 3"x6"x12 for an Indian Woman carving that I plan to work on in the house. My larger basswood piece is out in the garage workshop and it's freezing out there, snow on the ground here. So anyway I can keep working just have to be more careful about chips! LOL
