I did my first carved head!

Hey everybody, Well I tried my first carved head. I have mixed feelings on doing them. You do all that nice detail and the heavy epoxy fills it all in! When I did my sealer coat I tried to thin the epoxy and got some kind of stippled effect. Not what I wanted! After much sanding I got it back on track.

It is a musky, 8" floater. Here are some pics I took along the way.

Take care
John

If you fish that thing in the boat next to me, I'll probably be inclined to start doing a figure 8!

Amazing work.

Re: I did my first carved head!

Not only the carving is superb, but the blending of the colors is awesome. And the eyes are as good as real.
I copied the pictures in my computer, with the hope that in a few years I'll be able to make a crankbait almost as magnificent as yours!
