Carving My Skull

I thought you might like my latest woodworking venture (you could call it art, I suppose). 

*I always keep leftover wood pieces, and occasionally get inspired to do something with them.*

I printed out the above image, glued it to a piece of flame maple and cut out the outline.

I glued a copy of just the eye and nose portion to some thin ebony scraps.

Having inlaid these, I used a file to generate maple dust which was used, with super glue, to fill in around them.

The teeth were done sort of the opposite; I used small chisels to open the lines in the maple, then used ebony dust to fill them.

The hard part for me was blending the contours of the edges.

But I guess it worked out.
