You do beautiful work. You may have mentioned this before but I see some things in the background that look like you do your carving in your living room. The last project I got away with something similar was before I was married and still had my own house so she couldn't say anything.

Dragon & Phoenix

Okay everyone most of the Negative space parts are cut out. So now a great deal of fine tuning, refining and smoothing. Once I complete that I will start to add the color. This will most likely be my last post on this piece until it is completely finished.

I cannot fathom the amount of time you have spent sanding! 

Looking good Bruce.

Okay everyone I continue to carve and refine over the whole project. One of the main things I did was remove  a good bit around  the head of  large Phoenix. I have also have added a great bit of detail on the lower section flames. If you look closely you can also see I have removed the pieces in between the very fragile thin parts.
