Green Man Wood Carving

This is my first ever face carving, it took a while to finish and I'm glad its done in the end. I cocked up the eyes, tried to rescue the piece and carved them a second time, the finish is OK but I think I will plan a better design next time.
The timber used in new seasoned Oak
walnut oil stain for background
Jacobean coloured Briwax was used for the overall finish

Beautiful video, Francis.
The picture looks very nice. Something is normal that you as the builder (carver) always sees what what you can do differently.

[@francisbarnett]

Maybe I'm expecting to much of myself but I'm always trying to improve my work. Thanks for watching.

[@gunterschone8402]

That's right, Francis.
Is not that in each of us so that one his expectation always creates and you see for every error where others say "The picture looks very good."
