I like it a lot !

Cookie,
I love the piece and especially the naming of same. I too have spent an inordinate amount of time watching Ghost Crabs, catching and fishing with them also! I know there was a lot of time involved in sculpting this piece. The sand looks great and the gloss finish, simply keeps the area wet for the little crabs enjoyment. Congratulations on such a beautiful carving.

Sincerely,

Very nice Cookie, I spent a lot of my youth on Gulf Beach and you captured it perfectly.

Cookie,

It is never too late to change the final finish on your carving. For instance lets say you apply three coats of finish and you want the final finish to matte. You can apply 2 coats of high gloss finish and the third coat can be a matte spray on lacquer. Only the final coat determines the finish. I prefer to use a spray on matte lacquer for the final coat on my carvings. It is always a good idea to test the finish on some scrap prior to applying it to the project.

Oh and nice carving!

Very cool!

Your carving looks great. I have not done any carvings myself and am a bit jealous.

You can apply a final coat of matte or satin finish and that is what it will show as.
