Default Birch Relief

Here's what I've been working on. It's Inch and a half birch. The oval is 26" by 9" and the deepest depth is 7/8". As you can see I've got along way to go yet.

Dylan, that's one awesome piece. You have the relief done perfectly. I can't wait to see the detailing. Is this a comission piece or a keeper for you? Well done man!

Great start Dylan. A nicely balanced piece. Folks, I think we have a budding "Master" here! Keep up the great work Dylan and go for it.
