Great carving of the koala and beautiful piece of wood. What are the dimensions and what kind of finish did you use? Thanks for sharing,

The carving stands about 20in High and about 10in Wide.
I used General Gel Stain for the background and Watco for the Bear.
Thanks for the coments.

It was a fun project, I really enjoyed relief carving.
Think I will try some more if I can find the right piece of wood.
