Rhino in Red Oak

It looks like he could jump out of the carving. Nice work. How long did it take?

Bradford,

Thanks for your comments. And to be honest I don’t remember how long it took to finish this piece, I carved it some time ago. But if I were to guess it probably did not take more than a few days.

Very nice work. Can you post a photo from the side. I’d like to get an idea of the depth of the carving etc.

Very nice work. I agree with Dan. Don’t be shy about showcasing your work. You have three slots to play with. Go for it.

Very cool, I always thought it would be fun to carve faces into our projects, but I have never carved before. Maybe I will stick to sanding and finishing

That is a wonderful carving. How hard is red oak to carve?

Good work.The rhino looks very briskly.

This has to be one of the nicest relief carvings I’ve ever seen. Way cool.

Thanks for all kind words.

Dan & Scott,
I’ll post a picture of a side view a soon as I can. The board is 3/4 inch thick to give you a rough idea of the depth.

Thanks,
Kenneth
