Leopard Resting

[bluelucky]

Here is the absolute hardest portrait I have cut out yet! It's 11"x17" "Leopard Resting" took me 10 hours to cut out of 1/8" Baltic Birch.
It's from the Summer 2012 issue..

Dude! That is so awesome! I remember seeing that and thinking it'd be cool to cut but I'd probably be crazy when I was done. I am glad to see that you kept it together enough to post the pic. Way cool, way way cool!!!

Great work! That really is a stunning piece. Will you frame it? I hope you stack cut it because you will get several people that will want one. For images like this I usually do 3 at a time.

Way to go Michael. You did a fine job on this one. I love it. I know what you mean by a lot of cuts. I did an earlier one by Kerry Halam, called " Stalking Leopard ". It took 750 cuts to do that one, so, I know what you went through. Good Job. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Nicely done. If i ever cut it I'm for sure adding in an extra bridge or two for the eyeballs. Those should have fallen out by all that is right...LOL

Nicely done Michael. I'am working on the same one in between projects all summer, when I started it the wife told me I'am nuts, lets see what she says when I'am done. Edward
