Forrest, thanks for looking, the wood is catalpa and it is 4 inches thick and 1x2 ft. tall. I also love the grain a lot of people think i'ts butternut it carves easy a little trouble the grain, but i'm getting use to it.

Patrick thanks seein how we carve similar size projects you have been a big influence. I think my indians have an Irish accent, lol.
