Looks OK to me. Nice rich colors. I saw a picture one time that had similar gouge work going into the picture from the frame. The carver went from large to a small gouge as he got closer to the centre giving the effect of it appearing further back than it really was. Thanks for letting us view your work.

Skip,
I think you did a great job. One thing about screw ups you are the only one that see's them . I think it is a great relief carving I also love the rich tone to the carving.

MA, burning and carving is not the same as playing with matches and knives.
