this is #3 of my draft horse series. it is a shire from the UK.
the shire is a very large horse and not well known here in the states.
but it is a wonderful animal.

As always, it’s quite impressive Pat. I’m amazed at how you can get the subtle muscle structure in the shoulder to show through with woodburing. I’ve done pencil drawings in the past, but there I could always smudge and blend the pencil marks to manipulate how I want the shading to look.
To see it done on wood with a hot iron… that’s just cool!
what are the dimensions?

hi marty, glad you liked the shire.
the finish is just clear acylic paint. satin finish.
i find several coats of clear paint keep it looking better and less fade with the woodburning.
once in a while i will use deft woodfinish, but this one has clear paint
