| Period pieces are an interest of mine. This lady is out on the town in 1900's Winter attire. |

| This 1900's lady in Winter was carved from a block of Basswood. The finish was a combination of very thin coats of polyurathane varnish and wax. It required many hours of fine sanding between coats to create the soft look to the surface. |

| Though it was my original intent to carve the hat and feather from the same block as one piece it became too delicate to manage so I carved it to a point where I cut the hat from the head, finished carving it and glued it back in place near the end of the project. The base is a seperate piece of Basswood also attached. |
