Not only is the carving excellent, but you went Above and Beyond with the sanding and application of an Excellent finish. Verrry Welll done. You are setting your bar high and this leads to Higher quality stuff from you, Can't Wait! Ben, your compliments mean alot, thank you! All the sanding on this piece was done with a 36 grit(!) disc on my angle grinder! I'm not one of you multiple step sanders.:P I think the double coat of varnish really hides the fact well, at least in this pic. I might have set my bar too high, it'll be a little while before I try another one at this level. I need to at least buy myself some real chisels first!
