Final Carving for my Senior year at Linfield

Well, I took my last final at Linfield today at 1pm and afterwords I went to the woodshop to finish this carving I have been working on for the last few weeks.  The base is not mounted on completely.  Originally I had it attached with two hand made dowels I made but the carving leaned to far forward or back for me to feel that it was safe to leave so I took the dowels out and merely set the carving upon the metal stand.  (Small branch was also added) and now the carving stands.  I think I will talk to Totem about using more of that concrete substance that allowed my large bone piece to connect with the carving.  I feel that the front side of the carving is far superior than the rear side but I may decide over summer to continue carving on it.  Anyway here are some photos.

This is the rear side of the carving, I added the bone piece because this side did need some extra help.  The bone was given to me by Cindy Hosskinson, she said it was found among Nils things.  Looking at it documented the piece looks nice.  I understand that I will have to adjust the background color, a little too gray for my like, the bone almost gets lost.

 This is the front of the carving, I love the bridges that attach to both the left and right side of the carving.  I think this side is superior due to how deep I was able to go on this side.  The rear side I was not able to go as far because this side was made previously.

Here is an angle that shows just how deep this side of the carving is.  I also like the bone whispering from behind the edge of bark.
