Many thanks Seeksurf, leleliz, & tok-tok!

leleliz - I really like to try to get some type of aged look in my finishes. This method works well for me because it turns all of the flaws into assets. The flatwork was a new thing for me, but I enjoyed it because I was able to get things done a bit quicker, and I also liked working with the router.

tok-tok - The head shapes were a snap because all I really did was copy my TC avatar which I designed a long while back. I'm glad you liked the step-by-step. I like doing them and I like reading other carver's step-by-steps even better...(!) :)

So here's the done deal "in situ"...

...and in its final resting place hanging above my workbench in the carving grotto...

If y'all want to check out some of my older stuff, I posted the new stuff in my "finished stuff" thread here. Did that make sense?

Thanks for lookin'!

Aaron
