Le Chef - Part 2

I got around to pretty well finishing the carving of this figure.  Still have to add a couple more small details but he's basically done.  The chicken is in two parts to get him into the cook's fist.  The feet and head are soaked in Super Glue to give them more strength which explains the different color.  Still have to do the hardwood base.

I think he's really turning out great and can't wait to start the paint job.  Hope you like him.

    He looks great. Thanks for something different, always keeping us thinking and on our toes. I look forward to the finished product.

    He stands about 16" without the base. Thanks for the comments. Always appreciated.

    A really neat piece...I love it when you go out of the western zone and give us something different t gaze upon. The chicken and cleaver are great touches...I think he is a wonderful carving.

    The super glue soaking on the chicken is a good idea, how do you know how much to put on, just soak it good?
