Sherlock Gets His Stripes!

Sherlock Holmes Gets His Stripes from Out West Woodcarving Videos on Vimeo.

A few of you ask if I would show how I was going to paint the coat on Sherlock so here is a video of part of the process.  I'm not as steady as I used to be but it turned out pretty good I think.  There are lots of photos in the Gallery and I'll look forward to your comments.

    what a handsome and dapper chap he is. I like the colors and the style of his clothing. I really am impressed by the cloak over his arm, I can't even figure out how to start to do that , a real engineering challenge to me. I also am in love with that big old pipe. This is the quintessential Sherlock Holmes.. a perfect rendition.

    Sherlock looks fantastic! Tweed is fantastic and the pipe really makes the caricature, can be no doubt who this is supposed to be . I would love to see your version of Jack the Ripper that would go together with Sherlock so well I think!!!!! Amazing work as always Lynn. Trev

    Great carving from top to bottom and everything all around. I know he's on a journey across the pond but if it was entered in competition in any woodcarving show he'd win hands down.

    PS..His shirt looked awfully shiny when you were painting the coat, did you put a finish on him before hand, to kind of seal him?

    Nothing new.....I brushed on a coat of Poly satin finish and then killed any shing with Testors Dul-Coat!
