That looks suspîciously similar to my family`s coat of arms.
Very cool work, how long would that take?

It takes me about 10-12 hours, but stretched out over three weeks because work seems to think it's more important than my hobbies.
This is the Bickford Coat of Arms.

That cat is sweet. Very cool.

Thanks! I had wanted to do a Mountain Lion skull for a while. No particular reason, just wanted to see if I could do it. I was thinking it'd be cool to kinda make it look like it was a fossil.

Walrus,have you ever worked with soapstone? I turn shaving brush handles with it,fun stuff I think.

I haven't yet. I've been thinking about ordering some Alabaster, but not sure what I want to do with it yet.

I think im going to attempt to carve a mini version of this temple in Petra. I remember seeing it in Indiana Jones when I was a kid, and I thought it looked like the most amazing place. It's something that I've wanted to carve for a while. Definitely going to be a challenge.
