Hey Sperm Whale,

I am also guilty of having done this a time or two...for me, sometimes I will get something (it doesn't need to be a carving) started and then just not work on it anymore. I have thought about why? I believe the reason is that whatever the project might be, it's already 100% done in my mind...no reason to finish...onto the next thing.

One thing you might try, if you have a grouping of unfinished carvings lying around, is just to pick one from the lot and call it done....go buy a small can of stain and some satin clear coat and slap the stuff on. I think once you see how gorgeous and juicy it all looks with the finish on it, this might encourage you to put some completion to the other works?

Just food for thought,

Babalu
