Default Anti CNC (brute force and sharp steel) Scout Statue Base

Cell phone photos, again. Sorry. Just finished this.

Statue is solid bronze, 16" tall. Base is a chunk of walnut
(firewood) that maxed out the moisture meter at more than 22%, so its
future should be ... interesting. This is being given to one of the
adult leaders and I was asked to make the base. I did not get to
choose the wood.

That doesn't look anti-anything to me - it looks like a piece of
excellent work!

Looks just fine.

What was the heavy glaze in base 8 ? Thought it was thick
plastic (bar top) but not.

Yeah, works for me.

P.S: I'm concerned about that chisel rust. Do you need help, Tawmy?

P.P.S: What'd you goop^H^H^H^Hfinish it with?
