Has anyone tried mixing some of the saw dust/powder (from sanding this stuff) with water to fill cracks and stuff? If this were my piece I might try a mixture of dust and water or glue and fashion some eye lids and flesh around the eyes to Really make him look scary. The Decoy.Duck carvers do it All the time with plastic wood. they plop in the bird eyeball and add the plastic wood around it until it looks right then they paint it. The hebel would not need paint though. How ever you finish him, he is really cool and I believe you have a more extensive art background than we know about. :) :) :)
