    Faces in a log

    Hi All
    I just finished carving two faces in an old poplar log,it was triangular shaped, I painted the faces with acrylics and sealed then with a matted finish water based varnish. I place ed the log in the flower bed in front of my house, one face looking down the street ,the other looking up the street. This is my new security system LOL

    Hi Bruce
    I have a Miniature Schnauzer on guard duty just in case my security system fails. Carving the log was done with a oscillating tool and a wecheer reciprocatin tool on a dremel(weeheer #272)

    Hi Prashun
    Thanks for you compliment .Do this carving wasn't too bad to do as I had it elevated and easily turned from side to side
