finished chipmunk, and and my frist chipmunk 20 years ago

well i done with the chipmunk, ( one on the left) i learn alot from it , hope you did too, how to fix the cracks and checks, it worked out good, also not to overspray with the solution of water and alcohol , but it worked out just fine, i did end up burning the fur,, over the paint, which i wouldnt have done , because of the burning paint, i dont know if its harmful, but i would caution you not to to be on the safe side, but the end result as good, so i was happy with it, and another project will start in a day or two,,, also you see a photo of my first chipmunk 20 years ago, 1990, so to encourage you new carvers we all started some place, you will be amazed at the difference even after one year if you keep at it ,, till the next carving , take care and happy carving, arleen
