First carve...

The ram head is a purchased STL ring for 3D printing. I added a few other toolpaths to get this. I can't believe how easy it was to do this with Vcarve.

Very Cool.

That looks great. I love the display stand too.

Very nicely done. I'd like information on its size and bits that you used so that I can learn from your experience,, please.

Well done, the frame is very well designed and made too.

Thank you for the comments.

Regarding bits and toolpaths, there were several of them:
3D roughing 0.5'' core box
3D finish, and (2) swept profiles 0.0625'' taper ball,
and (2) pockets with a 0.125'' down-cut

As I mentioned, the actual ram was purchased on CGTrader and is an STL file for 3D printing. I have it placed so it's both relief and anti-relief. The carving is nearly two inches thick. Overall size is about 8.5'' x 9'' x 2.5''.

I hadn't considered the extra parts to be a display stand or frame, but they work that way. The whole is single piece, glued together.

I made nine of these as gifts for my dad's survivors after he passed away last year. His initials are RAM.

I have more of my woodworking from the past at www.manfulldesign.com. Not carving, as this is my first.
