Hound Dog Progress

[Iowa Carver]

Well I had posted earlier of the hound dog I was working on and I botched up the head so I cut it off and bandsawed out a new one. I got the head all carved out and will now attempt to attach it and then finish carving.

Update, the surgery is complete and the patient is resting comfortably and I will watch and monitor him tonight for normal brain activity . I am pretty happy with it. Don't know exactly how I will paint it yet.. thinking on it. Thanks for looking!

Thanks,
Corey

Poor headless pooch. Corey, I hopoe you buried the other head.

How will you attach the new one?

[Iowa Carver]

Ron, lol...there wasn't much left of that first head. I drilled a 1/8 hole and glued a dowel in with wood glue and clamped it up with blue painters tape. Thanks!

Hey Doc, looks like the surgery was successful super job! I love the way the tail stands up and the head and neck is stretched forward. Your Hound Dog is right on point.
