This is a carving of the new Coat of Arms for the City of Toronto that was done by about 20 of us from the Ontario Woodcarvers . It was then dontated to the city.

Great job! I like the background texture. Is the background done with gouge marks or was there a special technique used?

Our leader - Tom Gallagher - insisted that the whole carving be done "by hand". We started it Thanksgiving weekend at our Carving Competition at Metro City Hall (Oct.7 & 8) then moved over the Lee Valley Tools, where most of the work was done. The background was a #5 - 1/4" chisel - if I remember correctly. It was handed over to the City on December11th. My twelve year old son also worked on it.

That's a very special carving. Group projects like that, where many contribute make real special. And it's great looking too. Thanks for sharing. Tom H

That carving is especially nice. The background also caught my eye. You all should be very proud of your efforts. - Earl

that is quite the effort by your group of carvers.
I saw the picture of your son in the paper with David Miller

Good job by all.
