Big cat

Recommended Posts

Caracal. Leather carving and simplified embossing (without leather insert). Veg tan 4 Oz, spirit dyes. Size 3.5 x 5 inches.

I applied too much lacquer and as result small fur details because of this “lost”. It's a shame until tears :(

Amazing work for just one year of carving!  It's amazing what what can be accomplished in a short time if you put in the effort.  I guess time in grade doesn't mean jack like some people think it does.  You have surpassed the skill of people who have been at this for YEARS!

Looks like today my cheeks and ears fully will burn out. :blush:

Thank you, Mike!

If this is with 'reduced details', I am truly amazed. In full definition, I bet I could see flea bites!

Thanks, Brian!

By the way, after the lacquer finally dried (after a day), most of the details again "returned". Apparently, this is a feature of polyurethane matte varnish. So I was upset in vain.
