    That's rather presentable Dave.  As you said, after some more "cleaning up" it should be close to perfect.
     
    Cheers,

    Rough shaping complete....
    Quite a bit of clean-up, and edge rounding to do yet before I use this carving to pour a new mold.
    Not identitical, by a long stretch, but I am far from being a Bill Short.

    All the re-working is coming along pretty well so far.  Looks like I am ripping far more off both sides than I planned, but like the direction it's going in.... Still pretty much a train wreck, not ready for show at this point.
     
    Need a break from all that, so I began a new carving this evening. 
    I really like and admire Bill Short's carvings, so I'm going to take a shot at one of my favorite carvings from his SOS (still under construction)....

    This little wreath is one carving created for the starboard side that I didn't plan to use but on time.  Unfortunately, I didn't make a mold from the original and now must re-carve for the port side.....
