Default Bison

This is my first attempt at relief carving and pyrography. Quite a large undertaking for my first try but I learn quickest by doing. It consists of (7) 1-3/4" thick white pine boards hung together by eye lag screws. The entire piece is 5 - 1/2 feet tall. It was carved with both power and chisel, then details were burned in. This was a commission piece and it is heading for a lodge in Colorado to be hung above the large lobby fireplace.
Thanks for looking.
Lundy

Lundy,
It may be your first but I would never have guessed it to be. This is a very nicely done display. It should look really good on the wall. thanks for sharing.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark
