Hello and good morning to all.
Today I'll be sharing the second tree sculpture out of 3 that I'm carving for a good customer.

Here is the before picture, I had to cut about 6ft off the top. Scary...and the tree species was ash, some of the hardest wood to carve.

A little airbrushing for color. Will return in a few days to varnish and highlight.

She was happy with the results, next up tree #3
I'd like to thank you all for looking and seeing what I saw. I love what I do and I'm happy to share here on Peakd. There's more to come so stay tuned.
Thanks again,
Jon
