a pear for Jason

[Lionel Mercier]

Hello All,
my last post, was "Octopus" finally, I gilded the inside ...
and because I wanted to try something else with gold...

Because the octopus had changed its name to Golden Fleece, I did not have much choice than dedicate it to Jason...
It is walnut (the same) and I gild it with gilding wax Lefranc & Bourgeois
92 X 132mm say 3 9/16" x 5 1/8"

very nice Lionel, i had not seen gilded walnut done in that manner, the spalting in walnut is different also, nice work, sort of reminds me of a figure with a hoodie, not that that has been in the news
