Every piece is individually cut out with a scrollsaw and sanded to different thicknesses and shape till it looks realistic so to say, i notched  the frame out at the nose and the tip of the antler so that it would give the appearance that it was walking out of the frame, also there is no staining just a variety of wood

That looks like a lot of work. Smiley
Do you draw a pattern out first?

It's really neat that theres no stain on it. Great job, you should definitely be proud! Wink

lovely work, wel done.  I see these patterns in the wood working magazines and have always wanted to try it.  I love the fact that all the colors come from the different kinds of wood.

Excellent.  Reminds me of these puzzles I had as a child where only the objects inside were in pieces, not the entire thing.  I love this.

Very nice work, and the antler on the frame does give it the depth you were looking for.  You have a great talent!
