These are the front and side panels for an Art Nouveau chest. They'll be framed, eventually.

Very nicely done! Carving Art Nouveau style can be challenging to keep the "flow", and carving a reverse image adds that much more difficulty (limits the "design adjustments") . I think if I had time to play with carving in my free time (what's that?), I'd do much more of this style. Giving a swirling, twisting movement to a carving is a challenge I always love to tackle.

What a lot of background work ... far more background area than foreground! That certainly kept you busy. I'm guessing you have a few #2 gouges.
Beautiful work Autumn!

These are beautiful carvings. Where did you get the designs? I am very interested in learning more about this style.
