Hi Everyone I’m a new wood carver, I’ve done some simple lettering and a couple little practice items. This is my first major project, It’s a knot work wolf which has some personal significance for me. Its rather large on top of a gaming bookshelf called a Game Valet, which I built. The wood is cherry, aprox 24” x 12”. This was rather daunting but a really fun project, woodcarving has been a very exciting rabbit hole to get lost in.
I’m about to start a new even bigger project building a new front door for my house and I’m going to carve a large tree for it. the inspiration for which comes from http://mendocinodoors.com/ I’ll create another post and share the carving as I go through it this fall. Go big or go home right? Heh =)
Thanks Mary May for sharing your amazing skill.

This is coming along well. You have more nerve than I do. I would do the carving first and then build the cabinet just in case the carving doesn't go well. In fact I don't normally tell people what I'm working on so I don't have to answer questions about projects that have become firewood. It will be interesting to see this finished.

A very nice piece, Ricky. That looks like it opens up to become a desk of sorts, right? Lovely work, but that poor wolf is all tied up!

Knot a subject I would have thought of, but an intriguing one. Good for you for taking on a big challenge and doing it well.
