Oak Springer Spaniel

A carving for a family who lost a beloved pet, I hope I did "woody" justice.

Its amazing , but if i have to be brutally honest the head is wrong for a springer . The last photo may be not doing it justice right enough .

The head gave me a serious headache. About the most difficult thing ive ever carved. The main problem I had is I only had 1 photo to go off. If I had a springer sat with me while carving I think I would of done a better Job. Still, its the first dog ive ever carved. The springer has such an expreshional face, and copying that with a chainsaw, I found hard . I'll get better with time and more practice im sure. Providing the family like it, Im happy

Fab:thumbup1:. springer heads are not easy to carve. they are alot mor boxy than you would think. but you can still tell what kind of dog it is by the ears. i really like it. i also love springers. i have had two of them. both were called Bruce.

good effort mate,

After seeing a springer spaniel before handing this carving over, Its head was modified which resulted in a very much more realistic carving . The new owners loved it, thats all that matters.
