Very good, Ron. I like it! Two things - you might want to consider lowering the hindquarters and back ahead of the hind just a tiny bit so you have maybe a one or two degree slope upwards from the hind to the shoulders.


Thing number 2 - see if you can make the tail bushier. Wolves have very bushy tails.

Great scenery! There's a spot or two on the hill back of my place that looks very much like what you've carved.

Very Good Job there. I carved a howling wolf once and it was a very difficult project to say the least.

What kind of finish are you going to put on it? Keep them coming....

I am going to stain the back ground to kind of make everything else stand out. After that I will post a picture and ask for help as usual.

I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want your opinion from you and everyone else. Don't go beating up on yourself that's our job.

Sorry guys, I was just joking. Never was very good at that I guess, always seem to tick someone off whenI try. But I do think its a really good carving as it is.
