re: chainsaw carved fish

This is really cool!
I’m thinking if you tone down the color just a tad, perhaps, it would closely resemble nature’s colors more.
Maybe sand it down some may take some of the sheen off of it.
I do think your selling yourself short!
I would start at $200., seriously!!!
It’s one of a kind, it’s beautiful, it’s an art
Piece, and like Jeff Said, you can always come down.
If you can sell it in a resort type area (with
Some rich people) you should not have any trouble getting 2 bills for it!
What type of paint are you using?
Most paints have flatteners you can add to knock down the sheen….
I sell Axalta (formerly Dupont )
Automotive paints, and we have many customers using it for wood.
We have one granite monument, headstones, that have used automotive acrylic Enamel for years with fantastic results and long term color hold out!
Good luck, and sell up!!!
