Grade InfoNice owl with some visual defects and unfinished areas
Shape InfoHigh centre of gravity, but wide legs on the base - decorative piece only as it stands
Color InfoLight softwood for the most part with a bit of color on the tail and deep richer varnish on the legs
Other ImperfectionsSome of the planned pyrography is pencilled on but incomplete, a few dowel protrusions on the owl body have been worked over, a bit of fine sanding missing on the seat bottom, and it is a little roughly sanded portions a) within 1 inch radius of the left claw and b) within 2 inch radius of the right talon
MaterialThree distinct softwoods, composite main body.
NotesNice eyes and a pretty face. Easy project to finish if you are really fussy - otherwise a plesant object.
ConditionGood but not perfect 6/10 the flaws can be easily DIY resolved if you are fussy
Best AngleLooking down into the object at 45 degress - obverts all of the issues noted above with respect to the imperfections
Worst AngleOwl is leaning back and not really going to be nice from underneath
Lop the legs off and mount it up in the rafters of an open beamed room and it will be absolutely perfect!
