Lion Relief

[Orygoner]

This is not my normal type of carving, but I like to do something different from time to time. One of my grand sons is in a fraternity up at Oregon State Univ. Their emblem is a lion\\\'s head. So, this relief carving will reside at their house in Corvallis, OR. The frame is old barn wood. I like the way the cut edges (treated with Watco medium walnut oil) repeat the color theme. The carving wood is two pieces of Butternut edge glued with biscuit joints added for strength. I used some oil paints in a medium of Penetrol for giving some color and value to the butternut.

Well... let me try that again, after referring to good advice I have already received, but just missed in this current posting effort.




That is better?

Nice lion, I like the barn wood back drop as well. Really sets it off nicely.
