Hello There and Welcome to WCI Boards

Well I think you have done a real fine job for your first relief carving.
The direction of the background wood grain works well to give a sense of motion.

Way to go Boog! No way you can turn back now. Is that an adirondack bear that is around your area? Keep up the good work.
Carve On,
