Default Just a nickle

I finished my first relief piece, not all that big but it's a relief carving. Thor told me a coin is a good example. Thats when I decided to do a wooden nickel,

Very good job! Your relief work is quite clear, and you accomplished it without layers or deep carving from what I can tell.
Excellent work.
Then, you threw in some lettering, and that worked well too.
Carving a coin, good idea.
What are the dimensions?

Thankyou:
The nickel is 4" Dia. I'm pretty sure that carving one actual size would be pretty tough.

That is very cool.
What a clever, creative idea and excellent execution.

I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm afraid you have the makings of an artist. ;-)
