Judah

I really dig lions… always have. When Zero brought the Lyon guitar to me the first thing I thought was I have to carve a lion… and Judah is the result.

A bit beaten up but still in decent shape

Roughing out the design

I thought I was done.... but ummm no...

Removed the textured background and added some cherry stain to the mane.

Added black stain for depth

Reworked the mouth

Rubbed down the stain to to lighten and used steel brush to texture the stain.

Ok... now I'm satisfied... on to clear coating...
