I made this to sit on my portable bench when I am doing carving demos in public.
Mary, do you recognize the acanthus from one of your project patterns?
It highlights both carving and joinery. The wood is mahogany and contrasting eastern maple.
Also, the title I gave myself is an homage to Woodwright Roy. Hope he doesn't mind.

What a great idea for a carving project! That leaf has been in a couple lessons - the shell and acanthus  (long ago) or the more recent Rococo acanthus. Nicely done! And carving something that small can be even more challenging.
