Yes mi,lady

Postby Dalboy » 19 Feb 2018, 18:15

I have been asked to make a lady figure from some yew and not having ever done one before thought I would do a quick practice, even then I have taken it right through to the finish.

Body is Ash and the hat is Laburnum it stands 6b 1/4" tall and 2" at its widest point. Finished with sander sealer and buffed on the Chestnut system.

Subtle, nice and as usual very clever. So much nicer to see the grain. Glad you didn't paint it. :)
I do not think therefore I do not am.
