Skull carved in wych elm good burr

A wooden skull carved in burr wych elm from near St Andrews in Fife. Part of my ‘eroded' series.

Size is approximately 102mm from bottom of jaw to top of head by 66mm side to side by 104mm front to back.

I carved this with a combination of Flexcut carving chisels and a Dremel with carbide burrs, then a whole load of sanding and polishing. It is finished with a protective oil good then hard carnuba wax to resist moisture and give a bit of a gloss.
