Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Your talent and patience is amazing. I hope that cut on your finger wasn't too deep!

Thank you for your concern! Unfortunately or fortunately I have a lot of experience with cuts and wounds, so I have a whole algorithm of what to do to get better quickly) In short, treat with antiseptic, stop the blood, wrap with vishnevsky liniment ointment. Usually it takes 1-2 days for the wound to heal (maybe my recipe will come in handy)

Красивая лягушка. И работа и само дерево очень круто. Столько древесной стружки осталось, Вы её где-то используете или просто выкидываете?

Благодарю! Стружку выбрасываю, куда ее больше девать непонятно

Bubinga is just so bloody heavy , I have maybe 15 or so boards ranging from 1" to 3" thick and ones I cannot lift on my own must be over 90kg but what a finish it leaves

I damn well agree. I bought a lot of blocks of different wood to try out, but I didn't expect this hardness. I recently read up on how hard it is relative to other woods and according to the Janka hardness test it has prohibitive hardness. Bubinga wood is probably in the top ~40 hardest woods. It's beautiful, that's a fact. I'm sure the machining is amazing, but it's not so good for hand carving. BUT I will not give up, my victory was inconclusive and there will definitely be a second round to show who is stronger.

What do you use to finish it and give it that beautiful shine ?

You don't really need to use anything, almost any wood can be polished to an almost mirror-like shine. But you will have to protect it, of course. I used to use a mixture of linseed oil and wax. But recently I switched to a mixture of purified beeswax and mineral oil. Its absorbency is much higher, I can't say about long term observations, but in the neighborhood of 1-2 months statuettes coated with purified wax perform better than regular beeswax with linseed oil. Also, it does not affect the color as it is transparent. Still, this coating (like any other) does not last forever. It should be serviced every couple of years to preserve it for centuries.

Класс, давай теперь зверюшку из Ятобы :)
