This bust was started in a Vic Hood class last month. I had quite a bit to finish up on it. It is about 8"x14"x17" and that's larger than anything I've done before. I learned a lot about working with a mallet and Vic was an excellent teacher. I finished it with BLO, polycrylic, and wax.

Thanks Bob, Tom, Bob K, Arthur, sappy & Tinwood. I was pleased with how the butternut finished.
Sappy, the picture I was following didn't show a lower lip (it was covered by his mustache). But Vic suggested that I give him one and he was right, it does look better.Joe
