This is a crest I carved for my brother and I. The Z. B. stands for “ZONGKER BROTHERS” It’s mounted on a wall in are office. This was my 15th carving, dated 10-16-2001, time really doe’s fly. It’s already 7 1/2 years old. It’s carved out of Basswood & Ebony. The Z & B letters are mortised in 3/8” of a inch and glued in. The size is 3” thick x 12” wide x 18” tall. Thanks for looking.

That is a cool coat of arms. I like how the flowing leaves and vines give it motion. I like the carving tools and mallets carved into the piece. As always your workmanship is amazing. You have definitely mastered this medium. Thanks for sharing this with us.
