Benella - Thanks for the wordz. No moko for him. This piece of wood won't let me turn at all; it just turns to dust. As I got further along, I noticed that the grain intself was WAY cooler than any work a could do with my chizzles....so, I used a finish that would bring that out and I am VERY happy that I did. A few more coats and he will look really, really deep. The grain and spalting just make it for me.

JohnnyP - I see you have been chipping indoors. Loverly. Momma's gonna have your azz!

Benno - Thanks. I figgered you could see the small things that were happening. The small stuff takes the most time, as you know. I'm glad you like his earz. I thought that might look neat, plus I had a crack on the one side that I had to plan around.

Here are a few pics from today. First are a series of sanded pics......then a series of other things....then the finished product. Please keep in mind that I have at least 3 more coats of oil finish to put on, so he will be getting "richer" looking over time. Thanks for looking.
