Oak-Eagle Work In Progress

Here is a picture of one of my current projects (approximately 8 1/2 x 11 inches). I believe most of the artwork was designed by Mr. Thomas Anthony Lair (a.k.a. Tony Lair) of Tandy Leather Factory. All I did was determine where the eagle, oakleaves, and acorns would be places and how they would sit. Now that it's all carved and tooled, I'm beginning to dye and finish it.

Unfortunately, the picture makes the piece look better than it really does, but oh well. . . Another thing about it is that it has terrible undercut where it should not. The feather is supposed to be undercut, but the oak leaves and such are not (but much of it is :-( ).
