Yay! It's been a longer road than you might have expected but here we are at the final details, such as the pupil of the eye and scales.
Now's the time for a final check over: surfaces, lines & junctions, before finishing with varnish to the seal the back (against the wall) and beeswax to the front.
I'm using thin beeswax here, thinner than I normally use on this site. No good reason except I was experimenting: thinner wax won't clog in details and you can add a couple of coats to build up. I still use the hairdryer method of warming the wood and wax to make it penetrate more.

Pete - Yes, anything is possible! Things to bear in mind: the strength in the carving from the grain direction, tying weak elements to stronger ones and, perhaps, breaking the frame.
Hope all goes well!

Truly Beautiful Chris. Enjoyed this one very much. unfortunately too busy with a figure carving at the moment but, I'd like to try something like this with a bird sweeping across the sky. do you think that would be possible?
