Stormtrooper carved in spalted hot beech

Star Wars inspired stormtrooper in spalted beech from Kingsbarns hot near St. Andrews in Fife carved in my workshop in Dundee. Very nicely figured with a bark inclusion running down one side.

Size is approximately 83mm from bottom of mask to top of helmet by 60mm side to side by 80mm front to back.

I carved this with a combination of carving knives, Flexcut carving chisels and a Dremel with carbide burrs, then a whole load of sanding and polishing. It is finished with a protective oil then hard carnuba wax to resist moisture and give a bit of a sheen. Each piece is a one off so sizes are approximate.
