Here is some pictures of the panel I have been working on. It's starting to shape up nicely I think but still have some border to finish. Thanks for the help!

Shaping up quite nicely! We have so much in common, a fixation with leaves, I too just finished some panels for a woodworking company to go around their counter showing several depictions of the leaves of the wood they sell.What is going in the center of the panel?

Doing leaves just seem to be fun to do. Addiction? I think so after I had all these on the panel I couldn't wait to get twisting and turning them! I attached the pic of what's going to be in the middle. It's not my drawing of the bucks. I can't draw animals! The border is my design and the animals and antlers is from the drawings of Doug Lindstand.

That's going to be cool. Speaking of leaves ,twisting and turning , have you ever considered Acanthus leaves?Like regular leaves you can make them do anything , fill spaces stretch, shrink, swirl though these have a bit more classical look to them they can in certain places add a bit of classical charm, wouldn't work though in a panel with deer, but I use them all the time to fill space and add architectural elements.

You don't have to draw the deer,,, only 'gotta carve 'em

I've got to correct myself,,, on hunting rifles you'll see these leaves used successfully in gaming scenes. Looks very proper and elegant,,,,'course the gun is $20,000.00, it better look that way

I haven't tried Ancanthus leaves but something I'll have to try. Sure now get me going Mark!

I have a door to carve so maybe I'll have to see what I can come up with.

For what it's worth I will not "leaf" you,,,, O.K.,,, bad pun,,,,I'll always be here to help,,, or hinder...whatever !But they are so much more versatile. And Oh so classy!

Leaves add so much to a carving it is really amazing the effect they have when someone looks at the carving. This is going to be a really nice piece when finished.

Beautiful work, the leaves will really set off the scene of the bucks in the center. Well done. Looking forward to progress photos.
