| | Re: I think I am getting close!! 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. |

| | Re: I think I am getting close!! 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....

| | Re: I think I am getting close!! 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.
