I thought I would share my most recent carving, a piece I made for my family. The fourth version I’ve made altogether, and by far the most ornate.
Many different kinds of hardwood in this piece, including Bubinga, White Oak, Curly Maple, Amboynya Burl, Bolivian Rosewood, Leopardwood, and Walnut.
Total dimensions: 29” x 20”
