That looks like it belongs in a museum. Really nice finish on it. Is that a pretty hard wood? |

I thought I would pile on: I too am a big fan of the grain and polished look. I KNOW that took a long time to sand (I hate that part also) but it sure looks worth it |

Saw your current thread title and had to investigate. A very nice piece, congrats! I also just received a stunning wee piece from Laojia as part of a trade I cheekily instigated (which I will reveal in my own thread at a later date, unless he beats me to it..) A great guy to deal with and a wicked talent - lets hear it for Laojia! :) |

Great step by step update. Your designs are excellent along with your carving. I've only used chisels for my carving, would you recommend trying a chainsaw & grinder? Cheers. |

finally finished laojia's piece...its now in his hands and hanging out in france!!!!!!! below is a is a step by step and was even able to include the tree. The limb is about 20 years old that broke off my mothers tree...mahogany. nice wood to work with and going to trim off some more. This piece i stopped planning so much and just took a chainsaw to it and a new set of rasp...experimented with doing my first inlay and a staining technique to try and make it look old. def need to experiment on that some more. over all i love the sepik....much more forgiving and i left the small imperfections and chisel marks on ..kinda helped make it look older and used. the biggest lesson i learned this time is to stop thinking and planning so much......just do it and get it done.
and the final. first inlay of abalone shell in the eyes and a distressed stain style...i know they use other shells in the eyes but i like the color of that shell. anyway still experimenting and trying something new each time....... and the other sides hes now in a good home.....maybe jerome will take a pic in france....
