Woodcarving a hare

[Micktoon]

Thanks for the comments lads , Dont know about stell Tom , more like clay maybe
Well the hare is almost done, the hare carving is done just a base to do for it now, the main reason for this is the grain in the wood runs up and down so the feet sticking out are likely to get snapped off if knocked at any point in the future.

This is it after final sanding and the other detail carved in , like the feet.



It then was waxed using beeswax mixed with turpentine scrubbed in with an old toothbrush, and warmed over with an electric heat gun so it soaks in.





Then buffed off with a soft brissle brush then buffed wit a soft cotton cloth and the jobs a good un !













Cheers Mick.
