STAND UP BASE PLAYER (WILLY)
This carving is from a Birch Tree I had to cut down in my back yard.
It gave some interesting challenges as it has some very large flat surfaces (that I find much more difficult to achieve than curved surfaces) , it is one piece and the wood is very hard.
I enjoyed working on this piece and gained the experience of the difficulties of trying to make the Base symmetrical. As you can see I have a long way to go.
FINISHES: Player - Tungoil
Stand-up Base & Hat - Minwax Provincial
Size: 13" High x 5" Wide x 5" Deep
