    I'm guessing you are waiting for the movement to come in, so you can make a clock out of it!

    Yeah, I think it is a dolphin. Certainly no embarrassment, though ... way better than anything I could even dream of doing.

    According to the date on the pic, you did it tomorrow?

    Good on you for having a go, what size chisel you use, 034?

    Good on you, Carl! I've no idea whether what you've done is any good, but it looks like a good effort to a eejit like me. You obviously know how to handle a chainsaw if nothing else.

    Nice work, Carl. I must've missed it when you posted it. It looks a lot like a manatee, or sea cow. We have 'em all over Florida, and on one of our specialty licence plates too.

    Spar varnish works well on outdoor sculptures, but sanding between coats is a PITA for the detail regions.
