This is my first posting of carvings that I've done.

The first two photos are of a rocker I made for my granddaughter's first birthday. I found the pattern for the bear on the pattern sharing forum. The plans for the rocker are from Family Tradition Ponys. I made the rocker out of cherry with a satin Arm R Seal finish by General Finishes. I used Createx acrylics to paint the carving.

The third photo is a plaque I made for my wife for her birthday. I found the double hearts on the pattern sharing forum. I used Photoshop Elements 10 to edit the photos for the carving. The plaque was carved from cherry and finished with a Van Dyke Brown glaze.
