Quite a challenge doing a well known face. Are you starting with a aspen log? Look forward to seeing you progress Ed.

Thanks Randy,

Yes, starting with a 15” diameter 16” long aspen log. Chainsawed it down a bit tomorrow will get it mounted to the vice. Should be close to life size when completed.

Pretty close profile. I think you have her facial structure down.

Great person makes for a great challenge. Ed it looks like your up to it. Can't wait to see this carving done.

Hi Ed
Off to a good start buddy. Does the forehead need to be a bit flatter. In the photo the angle across the hairline, then down to the nose looks to be about 105degrees. Think maybe the forehead might be a little too rounded.
