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.
