The marks in the pocket area look likes your wood was flexing, due to the wood needing better hold down. Holding just the edges, it can flex in the middle. Try doing half with a longer hold down towards the middle, then do the other half with a longer hold down towards the middle carved area.

If there's any flaws, I don't see them. Nice job.

No comment on the technique.

Plenty of comment on the political messaging: Keep your politics off of this forum.

No politics intended. If you are offended, please accept my apologies. It's nothing more than a piece of scrap wood. (Just like the person portrayed)
