I had carving wrapped up around the time my son Riley was born, and he has watched me the last week and a half as I painted it. Ok... he slept thorugh most of it, but he was there for support. :wink: This panel features the head of the central spirit figure in relief. Above, two inward facing bird totems, with a small spirit face adorning the top section. This piece is hand carved from Basswood and hand painted. It has 40 open work cuts and measures 44" H x 13" W x 1" D. [ Edited by: Lake Surfer 2012-11-26 19:49 ]
