Title: My First Portrait
Post by: jameswhite on April 13, 2011, 12:22:29 pm

This is my first try at a portrait. They are my folks and when done I will send it to them.
I used 1/4" BB ply.I am staining with dark walnut danish oil. Then I will spray it with poly.
It took me about 4 days to do. I took my time and went slow and had my peed on low.
Charlie dearing made the pattern for me from a picture I sent him.
I think it turned out ok.
Let me know what you all think. All info will help.
