Getting close to the finishing stage

  


This stone is nearly fully articulated and, but for one nagging issue, is about ready for sanding. That issue is this: over the years, a frequent comment by folks viewing a piece in its unfinished state is, "You're going to leave those rough areas aren't you?". I usually reply, "No, I'm not. That doesn't fit my concept of a finished piece". Well, I heard it again, this time from my friend Mary, and I'm thinking that I might actually do it this time. I'm torn, and struggling with the question, "What might I accomplish by leaving some of the rough areas?". Any thoughts?
