Holly's Jasper #1
Drawings for my new commission, the bust of a Swiss mountain dog carved from walnut, life size. 14" nape to nose, and 10.5" from ear to ear, 12" tall.

As part of my new procedure to make the process of excess wood removal easier I will be band sawing on 4 sides to make the blank closer to the finish product, leaving me more time for the fun of the detail. Only took me 15 months to figure this out….........
