    Default couple completed project

    The tiger is a custom request from my last craft show, of course my wife put her
    skill hands and eyes on both projects.
    The second is the first of 3 plaques for the boys and their families.
    The cypress aged very well, but so far the popular is not going too good.
    I will add another coat tomorrow and let it fly.

    I have often wondered why it is that
    Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left".
    "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of
    the fool to the left."

    They look good Perry. I think it may be because poplar has less natural tannin in the wood.

    Perry popular is nice to carve. I seal it and then stain and this will make it a glaze finish. Two light coats of finish over top. Very nice carves. thanks for sharing.

    They came out very nice. Especially the rope border. But, then again, I might be a little biased.

    All three look very nice and you should be very proud of your work.
