Now, that's a nice piece of work! The wolf head looks like he is part of the wood's spirit!

You have certainly captured the wolf as a flowing part of the wood. Nice eyes too. Thanks!

Beautiful job! That face just lays in the heartwood. Did you follow the grain through that area to define where the wolf would fall? It just looks as if it is part of the wood instead of carved into the wood!

Nice work.....reminds me of the old adage......"The wood reveils what's inside"! In this case, a wolf. Well done.
