In Memory

Not sure if this is the right place for a finished carving if not please move.

A friend asked me to make a small plaque for his brothers dog who got run over. I did explain that I would have a go as it would give me some practice and also told him not to expect to mush as I had only done one other plaque with letter carving on.
Anyway this is how it turned out. Made from Oak approximate size is 12" by 5 1/2" and took two days to complete. No finish as I will leave it up to them

Re: In Memory

Very nice job - and I'm betting it wasn't easy getting those letters and numbers that even in Oak.

Thank you all for the encouraging comments and appologise for the late reply as I have been away from the computer all over the weekend.

I expected problems being a novice carver but also being aware of the properties of oak have used it in other projects like turning, but fortunately it carved quite easily as I remembered some advice on here about keeping your tools sharp
