my first big carve

[aokweld101]

I have been wanting to do a hope chest for my wife for over a year I promised to make one for her... and heaven forbid if I don't..... I am wanting to do it 4 boards high and in two carves 14.5" x 48". This is just the front if I have it right I can do the sides it is my first big carve and would like to know if I did it right...All advice would be appreciated...THANK YOU

That looks great would it be possible for you to post it with the snap turned off so we can appreciate the total carving.
Great job, but what do I know, I'm only a novice. What font did you use and where did you obtain it? Sorry, but I thought
that the bottom of the chest which shows the drawers has your wife's name in a fancy font, maybe I'm seeing things. lol

I'm letting you see the bottom of the carve I was given the top pattern by Eddie lamb if you want the pattern you will have to ask him to e-mail the pattern to you.

The scene came from nicpic grayscale I just cleaned it up and added a border. Here it is.
AOK, it will carve fine with the layout you have. Good work

Thank you for the pattern and aokweld101 good luck on the chest. I am sure it will come out amazing. That's a great design. What type of wood are you using?
