2 times life size Wolf Head. (wip)

[MAB]

Here is an exercise i am doing at the moment, whilst I am waiting for the first big jobs of 2013 to begin. A nice chunk of beech i had left over from a job last year was used. a bit more finishing and preserve/colouring to put on and she will be finished.

tools used have been :- Husky 357XP, Styl MS192 (carving) , carving chisels and a run over with a flap sander.

Around 6 hours work to get to this stage.

It could be for sale, or a copy as my missus is dead keen on this for our garden.

at this scale it would cost around £350. could be less if i scaled down.

That tortoise is lovely. Make a great wee footstool in front of the hearth

Looks great.

How do you get the dark colouration, paint?

[MAB]

Thanks.

the dark couluration is done with a blow torch, and the mid tone with oak decking stain.

Eyes painted in with acrylics.
