hi dennis, thanks for the nice comment. as far as a story on my horses not really sure it is a story.
i grew up around horses, my grandfather farmed with themand so did my father. my uncle never had a tractor on his land up to the day he died. i have ridden and shown and been around horses all my life. and the draft horses have always been among my favorites. they are so big and so strong and most of them are also gentle giants.
the woodburnings are my way of showing my love of the horses. even tho i no longer own one, the love is still there. and i am glad it shows thu in my work.
thank you very much.

thanks diane. but the draft horse is not painted. i use colored pencils,chalk and water based oil pastels in my work. the way i do it makes it look painted but lets teh grain of the wood and the burning show thu. thanks so much for looking.

that is just brilliant. How do you finish and protect that? what kind of product do you use?

i finish my woodburnings with several coats of clear paint.
spray paint.
the clear paint keeps them from fading. woodburnings should never be put in direct sunlite.
but clear paint is what i use. i have tried laquer but do not like it much.
and poly will turn the woodburning yellow.
thanks for looking

Wonderful job again, your work is so impressive. I can tell you that automotive clear urethane will protect your pieces very well. It is catalyzed and must be sprayed on with a spraygun. Let me know if you have any questions.
