Any idea whose roughout it is?

[ohioelcamino]

have no idea, i bought it with a box of assorted chunks of basswood from a estate sale and this was in it. i bought the box for a 1.00, couldnt pass that up lol

It looks an awful lot like a Desiree Heijney to me. I tried a google search but came up blank. You might look over some of her work, maybe you'll find something you can work off of!

Why dont you just make it up as you go, more fun that way i think.

I'm with Fly, you can Google "fawns" and click on the images. Here you will find 100's of pictures of the cute little devils. If you create a folder on your desktop you can right click on an image that you like and click "save image". It will bring up a window where you can choose the folder to save it to. Navigate to your new folder and save it to that folder. You can save multiple images to that folder and use them for reference when carving/painting. I do this a lot and it sure is helpful. If you have any questions or problems while doing this PM me and I will walk you through it. It's another good tool for carvers (and, it's free). Good luck, and I hope this helps?

Start by drawing it all in, and then just start carving. You have nothing to loss, and it will turnout fine.

Spot on Tim i do it all the time too.

Possibly a stand alone original and not a copy of someone else's idea, plan or design?
If you need thousands of pictures of deer to work from, cruise around in fieldandstream.com.

Here's one for you, I know it helps me if I have good reference photos.
