Horse Head

[rdatelle]

Just finished these two pieces a little while ago. Had some 1/2 inch pieces hanging around. One is walnut and the other is maple with 1/2 B/B backer. Got this pattern from Sue Mey. A friend of mine has a couple of horses so I thought I would surprise her with these. There about 7 1/2 x 7 1/2. I used a #3 Pegus blade on this with no problem cutting. I have a coat of Watco Danish Oil on them. Not sure if I should give them a couple of coats of Poly or leave them like they are. Hope she likes them.

Ralph, They look great. Most of my customers prefer a little shine so I lacquer everything I make. dave

 Perfect cutting! Keep them coming!

Very well done!  I always put a coat of something over BLO/MS, Tung , danish, or any oil finish because it makes it easier to clean, get the dust off.  My go to is Deft simi-gloss because it is durable, easy to apply, dries quickly and does not change the color like other finishes.

Your right Paul, I usually put  some poly over it but she liked it the way it was and I don't have to dust it. LOL.

Beautiful pattern and nicely cut and finished on both Ralph. Well done.
