Blackbeard -- Prepwork: The Pedestal

The last major putty exercise involves the pedestal. The stock pedestal, a generic item common to most, if not all, of Young's busts is, IMO, too limiting--and, in this case, ultimately detracting. And since I have no problem whatsoever in creating an en suite pedestal. . .

The roughed-in pedestal is now in the oven curing. I figure there will be 1-2 more putty sessions to finalize "pose" and lines, and then it will be down to finishing and polishing.

More to follow!
