Really wonderful job on Hank. I don't have one intarsia in the house. All the ones I made got legs and went away. I have not learned yet to stack intarsia

time to pick him apart...
Hank was mainly cut out of 3/4 cherry.
1 inch poplar was used for the top section of the blinders and the bridle.
Basswood was used for the light section of the nose and one little piece of walnut for the mane...
fuming was done to get the different shades of the wood and 2 coats of satin clear for the finish...
things that turned out good...
I'm really happy with the way the ears turned out, the inner ears was fumed for 1 hour. that one piece of walnut to give him that punk rocker look..
the nose and mouth area also turned out good..the inside of the nose was fumed for 2 hours but didn't turn as dark as I would of liked it...
this was the most challenging section...
the harness, once I got those 2 little pieces to fit everything else went together. I was starting to run out of time so I had to resorted to brushing on the ammonia which turned out nice..Hawk G-4 Jetcraft

time to pick him apart...#2
some of the things that I wasn't to clear now...
this is where I was having a problem tiring to figure out how to start shaping his face..once you start grinding there is no turning back...as for the blinder, I fumed over night and it came out this dark..
around the eye turned out nice but I think the eye it self should of been raised..I took Toni's suggestion about the nail polish for the eye..
I should of shaped this a little more too...
Grandbaby is here so I have to go...
thanks again for all you nice comments
