Crab's comeback

That's an old beast I have presented here, but not complete.
Was remaining to complete the sanding and make a choice for the base.

The "How did he do that" was the subject of a post:

text is French, but pictures speak well...

I chose to let it rest on four points and I was pleasantly surprised with this, the back also gives the impression of threatening claws ...
It is this aspect that I show here.

This piece was waiting four years on a shelf the moment I would think about it...
must never despair !

Two coats of danish oil.
Comments welcome.
Lionel-

Outstanding piece. I keep waiting for the eyes to open and the claws to come up. What's the wood?
