Year 3 Xmas 2011

In that last two weeks of the class I mainly just sanded the dark wood of the sculpture and then over Xmas I polished it.

The dark wood has rather odd light section in it shown in this picture.


This close up picture shows what lovely grain the dark, inner wood has when polished.


I took the picture below to show the outer, light wood (the snake) stands out from the dark, inner wood (that the snake is wrapped around). It also shows the large split in the wood unfortunately. As long as it doesn't split completely I'll be happy.


I would just like to fill the woodworm holes with some wood glue mixed with sawdust and then I am finished.
