This picture is done with 3 different patterns. The wood is Oak and you can see that the grain goes in at least 3 different directions. The wood was so hard cutting that I just about went through all the blades I had to get this project finished. There were some places that the blade just would not finish cutting the piece. I enjoyed doing this, but I have to tell you with this piece of wood I was glad it was done.
The Bear pattern I could not find who the author is. The Wolf is by Charles Deering hope I spelled his name right. The Cats are by Marilyn Carmin.
The picture itself measures 12” in the widest part and 23” at its tallest corner 5/8” thick. Finished with Danish Oil and Wax.
Thanks for looking.

Those are so neat. I’ll bet it was hard cutting—that is a thick oak board!! It appears to be a wild grain section that would be hard on a table saw!! Lots of stress in that board!
You did a nice job on it.! thanks for sharing, Kelly…................Jim

That hunk-a Oak is perfect for those beautifully scrolled animals, and such. Very nice

An impressive piece ! It’s a tribute to your skill that the orientation of the bear’s head does not confuse one as to what it is. It seems to me, do a poorer job of that and people would say “what is that ?”.
