I'll probably do another coat and a lacquer.. but here it is. I probably need to sand between coats a little too... this log was pretty stringy and when I stained it all the fibers stood up big time.He is 4' tall... (sorry for the lighting, I just took the pics in the dimly lit garage). He was a major stretch... with lots of obstacles to overcome. I found that the legs and arms were really tough to see... the arms ended up small cause I shoulda tapered the cut into the chest/side of the body more. He has just started two cracks... and interestingly enough one ended up right on his buttcrack.. so now his ass goes up into his back! Still, neither one is too big, and overall I'm really happy with it!
