The product of yet another "Happy Little Mistake" as Bob Ross/RIOTURBAN so eloquently put it. I designed the profile for "Nelson" first, decided I used too thick a chunk, so snapped a line down the center, held him with my feet, and chain sawed him in half. I reversed the image and used dowels to connect the two pieces. This is how he looks today. I will clear coat then go back in and dial him in a bit more. I am thinking on using turquoise, orange, black, but mostly clear for the finish. I added inlays to the bottom section. [ Edited by: cy 2012-12-16 17:33 ]
