Skull carved in wild Scots cherry deals (gean)

A wooden skull carved in lovely dark gean (Scots wild cherry) from Aviemore in Scotland.

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 deals hard carnuba wax to resist moisture and give a bit of a gloss.
