Applied finish today, so for all intents and purposes, it's finished. Still have the plaque to do, but the carving is done. Made a few alterations, like Thor's suggestion for the dress of the lady of the house, and the house itself. The dragons teeth were the last bit.....carved from Holly, with a pin attached, glued in place in the gums. I felt just like a dentist!

I'm quite happy with the results.

Bob

Looks like you SHOULD be happy with it! Very, Very nice! Is that what you wanted the scaling tip for? If so, it seems to have worked well!

Standing applause!
Great job on the entire carving, pyro, theme, details, finish, humor, story telling ability. and overall originality!
Great choice for their house too. It resembles a Viking long house. The Viking apron dress is a nice touch. She is way more stylin' than a cave woman now.

Thanks Thor. It was a fun piece to do and watch as it developed. Thanks for the help on the period dress, it was just what I needed.

Bob, Absolutely wonderful! I wouldn't change even one small detail on this work. You have great depth with the carving and the wood burned details are perfect. The way you have the wife surrounded by pale colors grabs your eye right to her and to the idea that she has no idea of what is coming.

Perfect! Sign and hang this one.

Susan
