Stylized Camel Finished

[Merle Rice]

Walnut, 10" x 1" , Finished with Satin Poly U and lite Coat of Feed-n-Wax. Hardest part was making the Sides Match. Think I'll do a Walking Stick, No Measuring just Imagination and Sight , Diamond Willow of Course . Ha,Ha. IMG_0001.jpg IMG_0002.jpg IMG_0004.jpg IMG_0005.jpg

That poly finish plus wax really brings out the beauty of the wood! Well done!

Hi, Claude, I like the Finish with Poly U . It's a little Glossy at First but goes to Satin over Time.
Can't get my Message to work so I'll tell you here. I use Master Carver Flexshaft and Micro Motor. Chips toward Me , Tried Reverse but not Comfortable . Definitely Mask Plus Dust Collector that got from my Sister . I still get covered with Saw Dust . Got an Air Compressor to Blow off the Dust and Move on. I get Tired to Fast with the Hand Tools. I still get tired with the Power Tools but not as Fast. Hope I Answered your questions , if not ask again, Glad to be of Help if I can . Merle

Wow, this looks super!! Real eyecatcher.
Have fun with your walkingstick (perhaps I will contact you for help on a stick, if it is allowed. But... before I have to carve bears and a few other things ) Have a nice weekend.

Hi, Eddy, you were Right, it was hard to hide the Mistakes . Changed my Mind a Lot . Ha,Ha. Thanks for your Kind Words. Merle

Hi, Jim, Thanks for Commenting and Walking Sticks are my Happy Place. Merle

[Merle Rice]

Hi, Yolli, Glad you like my Effort with the Camel . Thank You. I must Warn you about doing Walking Sticks and Canes before you Start. They are Fun but Addictive , but that's a Good Thing . Ha,Ha. If you need help with a Stick I don't know of anyone that wouldn't Allow me to Help to Help you if I could . So when the time comes ask away. I'de be Glad to if I can. Merle

That turned out very nice! I still have a hard time seeing a camel in it, but not matter, it is really unique and a love piece of eye candy!
