Finished this relief carving in Butternut, of the Dragon of Wales. It's for my wife, her father's family came from there and she wanted something for the house to connect her. The plaque is 12" X 9" , sorry the lighting isn't better.

Hi Bob, terrific relief--I like the plaque choice the oval enhances the shape of the dragon. Good choice in wood type also. Nice Work!
