I Am Not Sure What to Call It - Here Is A New Project

For the moment I am going with Prayer Token.  I would rate this one as easy.

I carved it from Aspen but Mahogany or Walnut would also be good.  The next generation of these will probably be smaller.  Most likely 2.5 to 3 " in diamter.  This on is four inches.  I have included several sizes on the pattern below.

These are a multi step finish.  First a stain with a metalic gold paint.  Then buff with synthetic wool abrasive, then a latex antiquing (dark oak) then another buff.  Then Hut Carvers Finsh and a quick buff on a power buffer.  The finish is smooth and pleasnt to hold and rub.  The carving (knife) marks are left purposely for that reason.  There is a feel to the finished carving like the meditation stones.

Here is the PDF of the angel.
