Here’s the penultimate cuts before the final pass. I’ve going to do something risky with it, but I’ve tried it before on similar projects so next picture will be it completed.

Well yes tomorrow is literally judgement day. Because of the DLC being put back so significantly I may do a little video about the project so others can attempt in the future.
Bang on 6”

That looks really nice. And it looks like very professional work. 
It was extremely satisfying ( but time consuming ) to make.
I’ve ordered another 20 blanks - so I’ll make them as gifts over the years.
Glad you liked it mate.

It is a nice idea to work that wood with the flame to emphasize the wood grain. Good work
I’ve done some big pieces in the garden past year. I was worried that the char would reduce the leg proportions when i wheeled it - but I just about made it.

Something tells me this isn’t your first wood carving. That’s very nice handiwork, well done 
No Xezr quite correct, during my 10 years as a chef, I was on the QE2 cruise-liner where I was taught by my cabin mate to carve. Soap, Fat, Fruit, Vegtables, Ice, and Fondunt Icing. The principle is still the same, but I’ve always got a project on the go.
Glad you both liked it, I’m considering turning a chrome gnome I have in the garden into my GenZ Machine Mask character? Maybe a bit too much

Do it please !
What is the bath for?
1st was to allow for the angles to be carved sharper.
2nd was to allow some moisture into the wood so as it burned, it didn’t penetrate all the way through before the oils in the grain could come out.
