another shadowbox and a second "Judas kissing Jesus" carving

[Lawrence Richards]

Had some more fun this week-- this shadow box is a little different - the customer (a retiring MSgt) wanted the stripes to be darker and raised above the surface of the box. Inside is LED lit and the background is blue velvet.

The second thing I did today was another carve of the betrayal of Jesus- this one is in walnut but as I haven't finished it yet it looks very washed out... I thought I'd might as well highlight the shadows by photographing it in black and white. This is a gift for an aunt I'll be visiting soon during a vacation trip.

Thanks for looking,

Lawrence, nice work on the shadow box! I like the design on this and you incorporated some neat ideas, too.

Excellent work on the carving - since I missed the first one, is this done by hand or with a CNC type setup?

Edit - just looked back and saw your first one done with the Carvewright.
