Default Giraffe

I carved this Bust in one day approximately 6 hours total carving, including staining the spots and sealing. I only had one day to complete so a lot of hours went into practicing each cut in my mine before I left my house.
It was a little tricky turning the head and very hard wood to carve. It's an Ash tree 7' tall
