Discussions on this forum are membership-run. I (Mary May) will monitor conversations and will try and contribute as needed. However, I can't guarantee that I will always have time to keep up with the discussions. Please feel free to contribute, as the only way this forum will be successful is if members get involved! I will also be the "judge and juror" with inappropriate, rude, or offensive behavior, so play nice!

Now that I figured out the forum posts pictures at the end of posts. . . .
I have been working on this off and on for a few weeks as time permits.
Happy with basics, where things are, depths, stuff like that. What I am not happy with is some of my nasty tool marks (usually found in tight areas where I chewed away like a chipmunk working on an acorn). The pic was taken after I put several coats on thin shellac on it and then gave it a fairly light sanding which really helps to show all the areas needing some help.
Oh, I am sort of a new carver. Have done some in the round stuff previously but not very much. The video has really helped with this project because Mary actually tells us where things can and will go wrong.
Don't ask me what kind of wood this is. I am not really sure, it is very light like bass, but the color is all wrong. I have a pretty large billet of this stuff and have had it for a long time. It carves like cherry. Mystery wood!

Looking good! The most challenging part of this project is the perspective illusion. The wood could be ash? Difficult to say by the photo.

Very nice! No idea on the wood but the undercutting looks really good. Thanks for sharing.
