Wood Carving and Bronze.

It started as a block of wood.  After chiseling and chipping and pounding and sanding it became a palm, with a thumb of course. 

This will make for the base of my world cube.  The whole world on the tip of my finger.

My fingers are made out of bronze and my thumb and palm made out of wood.  My livestrong bracelet finishes out the piece and was caste in bronze and colored with patina.  It was my first wood carving so be nice.  Very challenging but sooo rewarding.  Below are a few photos.  Not quite the finished product but close!
