Mahendra was kind enough to create this pattern of my son-in-law's parents. His mother passed away several months ago. Cut two up from 1/8" BB. Finished with 50/50 BLO. I experimented with several blades. What worked the best was a #1 Olson blade. With a fresh blade which was fairly aggressive I cut bold areas first. When the blade started to wear out I cut the detail areas like the eyes. It cut less aggressively but had good control.
