Skull carved deals in meranti (Philippine Mahogany)

deals A wooden skull carved in lustrous Philippine Mahogany (meranti)

Size is approximately 90mm from bottom of jaw to top of head by 55mm side to side by 72mm 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 then hard carnuba wax to resist moisture and give a bit of a gloss.
