Just finished up on a memorial plaque and it turned out pretty good... I feel like I have a good grasp on this turbo carver...



Here is a couple of my earlier pieces:

This is a Jewelry/Keepsake box (didn't build the box) I carved the Celtic Swan Heart.


This is a piece of 100 year old Cedar. This is one of my first carvings... I did NOT expect it to turn out this well.

I would say that you more than graduated on this plaque. Well done.

You have done a fine job on all of them, and the hummingbird is just beautiful. I like the rough surface in contrast with the carved details on that one.

My favorite is the humming bird and flower also. The rough texture of the board adds interest to your subject.
