 Lynn:

The scroll forms a convex surface. The edges are about 1/2" thick and the center is 3/4" thick. A flat surface would have been too obvious and a little too plain.


The leaves are from the laurel tree. It took about 4 hours to draw the repeating pattern for these leaves... but the effort was worth it.


 The text was completely drawn on my computer, using Adobe Illustrator - spaced and tweaked till it was just right. I also used my spell checker. Finally, I ran the text past my customer and had him "sign off" on the spelling.


Blessings and Peace,
Bill

What a great carving.  The carving is subtle but speaks volumes.
I read that it started as a 2 inch thick slab, but how hick is the base where the text is?  It would appear to be less than a 1/2 inch?
Alson, what type of leaves are those that are intertwined on the sides?
Sola Deo Gloria.


Blessings and Peace
