It is finished! "Lion and the Lamb" woods used are Aspen, Teak, Walnut, Sycamore, Bubinga, Mahogany, Maple, Ebony, and Shedua. This was fun and challenging piece and I will be entering it in the State Fair. This one of my very favorite piece's I have done and am looking forward to giving to a very special Lady who bought it in our Church Youth Gala this past spring. glad she is a patient person. Anyway thanks for looking and hope you like it .

Making some good progress I was up at 5:00 am today. worked all morning shaping the lions head, and body. I think it went rather well and is starting to turn into one of my favorite pieces. I love the look of the teak used in the mane the grain is really nice and represents hair pretty well.

Here is a look from the side showing a little more of the depth of this piece.

And here is a pic of the eye detail I was a little nervous about the shaping but I think I got it captured fairly well.
