This carving will be a half-body with braids running to the ground. I am going to have to start outlining the braids, so that I can finish the side of the body, where the braids meet the body. Benzart - that glossy finish is 6 coat of a spar varnish. I did in fact coat the small Yew carving with a rub on poly. Funny you mentioned that. I am still playing with different types of finishes. Do you have any that you prefer? Any that hold up well out doors? Mahalo
