The relationship between your anterior orbit and antorbital fenestra isn't quite right.

Yes, you're right; the lachrymal isn't drawn in properly, is it? The postorbital needs to be wider at the jugal/maxillary/postorbital symphysis, and the supraorbital crest hasn't been defined.

Well, the grain of the block goes vertically, but where the knot is, it dives into the block at a steep angle.

He could carve a minature 8 ace, complete with live in shed.

If he was really handy with the chisels, he could include some bairns, in the process of being brayed.

He's in the work room tip-tapping away. That's the last I'll see of him for a while.

HTH
1. You can't see its incisors, they're at the front of the mouth.

2. Teeth continually break and are shed, with new ones growing in their place, so the spacing of teeth tends to be irregular.




Example:

Probably not... what wood you wanna know for? Are you after a carving?

There's almost limitless scrap oak on site.

Not whittled in years ..... had an interest as a kid in fossils (more the Crustaecous(sp) Period than any).. Visited places such as Ludlow.. holidays down on the South Coast places such as Dawlish, Beer, etc.. had quite a collection, but as adult life arrived along with the 'baggage' of marriage, kids mortgages etc.. the stuff in the cupboard under the stairs at moms house got forgotten, left and eventually thrown away


ahh well..........
