Golf Tournament Donated Carvings Complete


This was a point when I wondered if I bit off more than I could chew.

My grand plan was to donate (4) golf-ball-in-a-cage busts for the Memorial Youth Golf Outing..

Once I got to carving, I realized that my carving audience was about to expand.  I was concerned that I may not produce a viable product.

I pushed that out of my mind and finished the carvings as you see below.  I also donated a couple of carved golf ball faces.

The busts and cages are basswoood, treated with a mixture of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits, painted with acrylic paints finished with semi gloss polyurethane.

Thanks for stopping by and I welcome any carving critiques!
