Starting the Base
The Country Hound carving is now finished, has been glued together and has received a light coat of urethane to protect the acrylics. I like the way this carving is turning out.
The base has been cut from a piece of oak and I’m just getting a sense of how I’d like it to look. I’m picturing that rocking chair sitting on a wood floor with a throw rug. I’m going to play around with that for a little while and see what turns up.
For now, here’s how it’s looking.

He’s just about done, Lynne. A bit more on the base this weekend and I think he’ll be ready for his photo-op.

Wow somehow you weren’t showing up in my wordpress reader app so I have missed several entries. Looks like you’ve been busy even in the face of the holidays! I think I’ve corrected it now and should receive new entries. Everything looks awesome as usual. I’ve been busy on instagram I hope to get a new post out soon. Happy New Year!
