Took your advice Alfie. It turned out pretty good, for a first attempt.

I think that it's missing something. So I'm going to add her paw prints around the edge of the plate. Now, it I can just get her to sit still long enough to get her prints!

s anyone?

Bob -- that's BEAUTIFUL !!
For paw prints I'd cheat and use prints I'd find on google or clip art. I think real prints would be too fuzzy, huh? But any prints would be great around the rim.
I am astounded by that as a "first attempt".
What burner are you using?

Good job Bob! How about scooped out places around the edge, you know.....tongue wear LOL

Yep, Bob, try these.....from Peterson Field Guide to Animal tracks.
You can mirror the sketch to get both left and right tracks, if you want.

these are listed as Siberian or Alaskan Husky.

Pretty Good ??? first atempt ??? You are either pulling my chain or you are a natural. Awsome job doing a animal as your first project is one of the hardest things to do. Even harder doing one that you know personaly is even tougher yet.

Hey Bob, that is an awesome job!! I wouldn't do any more to it, its great the way it is. If you start with carving birds, I'm going to be out of a job.

There, I think this is better. Had to go out and trace her prints in the snow. Lots of fresh tracks frozen in. Bloody cold out there though! But she enjoys it.....and was a big help!

Well there you have it â€¦ a masterpiece indeed. The only problem is that woodburning can be addictive especially to carvers. You must have noticed that it is fun and a lot faster than carving, not to mention how fast you receive gratification of the finished piece. Unlike a carving that could take months too finally see the finish.

Oh do not misunderstand me, I am not down playing carving in anyway.

But I find woodburning like a quick fix when you donâ€™t have the time to carve.

Once again great work â€¦.
