The Snowy owl




The Snowy Owl has been the object of attention over the last couple of weeks.




I decided to give it a smooth coat, and this has been quite a challenge given the nature of the interlocked grain. So having got the surface as smooth as I could with very sharp gouges, I resorted to medium grit garnet paper to get rid of the odd blemishes.



Of course a beak is going to have to be added, and i still have to prepare the wood for that!
