These are my Beauty and The Beast entries for the internet contest.
Beauty: 6 3/4 inches high by 5 3/4 inches in diameter
Finish: Kukui nut oil sanded to 800, finished with VanAqua 485 Water Based Polyurethane
Description: Beauty is well dressed in curly red oak and walnut "OATS" segments highlighted with alternating walnut and maple veneers. She is wearing a closely cut matching necklace/choker below an expansive flared collar.
Beast: 8 1/2 inches high by 12 inches in diameter
Finish: Kukui nut oil sanded to 800, lightly buffed with microcrystaline wax.
Description: The Beast came from Hawaii in a piece of Eucalyptus Robusta burl. He was uncovered, unleashed if you will, to my surprise with his face fully formed as you see him. A sure hit at upcoming Halloween parties.
