These are the main pictures I have for showing what I did on the panel. The first pictures of course is the pattern I did up. And since it was a good size of 33 inches x 29 inches I took it to Office Max and they can do up to a 36 inch paper size just in case someone would like to know. And CHEAP! Ok back to the panel. The 2nd picture I started taking off the wood to get a good depth for the leaves around the border. Since I was putting antlers on each corner I wanted to make sure I had plenty of wood to work with. The next picture is a close-up working on the antlers on the border. I wanted lots of shadows going on here and actually fun making leaves. So additicing! Well will post a few more pictures since I can only add 3 at a time.

I so appreciate you sharing the process. I just realized that it is like putting together a 3-d puzzle after doing thousands of flat ones: you have to think in a whole new way… My brain is struggling with the process but these photos help. ... not sure if I could do it, but I’m starting to “see” how it is achieved.

Hey Debbie, the process can be confusing at times. But if you take the time and think and sometimes you just have to walk away to get to the next step then things become clearer. I can walk away for days if I am stumped. Then can carve for days and things just flow. Makes it so relaxing. I never fight with my projects. When I did the eye I almost was puking! No kidding. Just so worried I’d goof it up. Don thanks for the nice comments. I’ll keep posting as I get further. Thanks again!
