    Great work as usual Tom! I like the lodge sign the best. The deer carve really stands out! Care to share more info about it?

    The edge was the same design "old looking sign" you have seen with 0 depth. The deer I found on clicker.com, free clipart. I looked all over for a deer that looked like it had fur but no one on Carvewright had one. The smooth surface does not look natural. After not finding a pine cone I like, Grandpa Pam gave me this one part of a branch she had created. It was a real challenge with different depths, and heights. I wanted everything to look like it was cut with a laser engraver. I was real pleased with the final carve and fun to create. I hope that answered your questions.

    All nice pieces of art Tom. The lodge sign real looks great...think it is the edges that sets it apart.

    I like em all tom, you are right about the painting it does get a little easier the more you do them, but I still think I need art lessons...
