Work in Progress. Nittany Lion Statue

Thanks for checking out my blog.

5/10: It started as a block of oak, 3 x 3 x 6-in.

I draw some milestones on the wood, then rough out major features.

5/13: I cut in layers, working on several areas at a time.  As a layer is completed, I draw some milestones as guides for the next layer.  The wood is on a print out of a picture of the statue on the Penn State campus.

5/14: Now the ears, eyes, and mouth are starting to take shape

I'll be sure to fix the right eye.
