My 1st carving

This was my 1st serious attempt at carving. The timber is from a pallet that I scrounged. I think it Pawlonia. Finished with Button Lac.

minimally refined shellac, before the colour is removed. Its a bit like hash in that the good stuff is stamped. see Button Lac, Dewaxed Shellac, Hand Made Shellac, Machine Made Shellac, Shellac, Shellac Exporter, India
