I want to carve the elephant head pictured below. I want it carved as a line drawing, rather than as a raised relief. I don't want it recessed or feathered. I just want to carve the lines. I tried to upload pictures of my failed attempts, but the attachment manager shows the mpc files as question marks . I'm not asking for anyone to do the work for me...I just want to know what to do . So far I have had what appears to be a floor feathered recess with an acceptable carve within the recess, a carve that appears to be on a circle that is level with the face of the board, but with recesses outside the circle, and a carving in which the outside elements are carved as recesses and portions of the elephant are raised within the carving.

If you can tell me how to do screen shots so I can show examples, I'd be grateful!

Thanks for your input ,

Ron
