My Portfolio #4 The Black Knight
This piece is carved in oak and depicts a knight on horseback.
I have always admired church carvings and especially those from the Gothic period.
I wanted to emulate the carving style of this period and then to age and stain the piece to look original.
So that it would not look out of place in a Church or Cathedral.
I have always liked the idea that although something of this nature would normally be seen in a Church setting, that it could sit very nicely in a contemporary environment.
Many thanks,

Very convincing patina.
Yeah I have a technique that I have been perfecting over the years. I always study old furniture and carvings whenever I get the chance. It is a tricky thing to get an authentic look with.
@jist this is very interesting because looks like ancient.
