Size is 225x225x44mm. Walnut with stain finish. I was planning to have this painted. But it looks good just stained.

Looks great, Dan! That has stain on it? Looks like natural Walnut to me... what stain did you use?

I can't either. It is beautiful the way it is. I use walnut stain on walnut these days too. The walnut we are getting is steamed walnut and unless you can find Caro walnut it has a sort of "Purplish" color with clear finish. The walnut stain turns it into a dark chocolate color which enhances the walnut in my opinion. Great job on the bear, just love the color.

I'm lucky in that most of the Walnut I buy is from a local sawmill and it's unsteamed, far prettier than steamed Walnut. I've never stained any of that, fwiw - too pretty like it is.

Dan I guess you surprised yourself when you saw it after it was finished.

Reach over your shoulder and give yourself a pat on the back, actually make that two pats, because I really like that one.
