Here's one of my patterns. It's of my 1st. bassett Hercules. As usual 1/4" oak... 5" x 10-1/2". His ears would have been any longer, I would have had to tack another piece of wood to the project..

I love that, Pop. You've done a very good job of capturing his expression - nice work around the eyes and nose area especially - and those ears just make me smile...
That's a great example of what can be achieved with (relatively) few cuts ...
How ironic. My Mom had a Basset hound she also named Hercules! She would pin his ears back with a clothes pin when she fed him to keep his ears out of his food.

Nice job there. Odd size, though. Do you plan on framing it?
Looks OK on the wall w/o a frame but it might be a thought. Nice thing about our pictures being made from wood.... it's easy to grab some pieces of trim and make a fake frame.

Buzz...food wasn't the only thing that caused us to pin his ears back. As a pup his ears were longer than his head rose above ground. When we went out to play we'd clip em' back so he wouldn't trip while he was running and wind up rolling across the yard. Then when he came back in he'd have to get a drink and his ears would carry more water through the house than made his mouth. But they're neat...we're on our third.

I've been wondering if 'framing' a piece with decorative inlay strips would look good.

Finish product : what would you use for the finish product , as on cherry or ebony? I like usually oil product but I did some tests with gloss varnish and It is quite good , because all the yellow and black base is quite glossy.
I have lot of fun to create the shade , by doing a lot of...
