Ducks Unlimited

Post by jhegel »

I was approached by the local person putting on the banquet for Ducks Unlimited to donate a carving for their auction.

I used a stock scene from the Design Carve disks.

The carving is maple wood and the framing is white oak.

I hope they like it.

John,

That looks superb. Did you do any glazing when you did the finish work?


Paul
Thanks

Thanks for the comments.

The finish was done with 4 colors of gel stain. I used the glazing technique that is listed in the Aspire section of this forum.

The wood was sealed with shallic before any staining was done.

Every one I do is a learning experience.

Well it looks as if you've mastered the glazing, can't wait until we get to see what you get up to next.
