The Hound Trio…

I’ve just begun some preliminary work on a trio of hounds for a friend.  These little pups will be in a variety of poses and will include at least one friendly squirrel in the mix.

I’m actually in the final stages of carving “Lola”, but here’s a couple of shots of some quick bandsaw work I’ve completed toward the Trio.

This little one will be standing up, obviously, enjoying the day in deep conversation with the little squirrel friend.

Although this next one doesn’t look like much, it will in time…can you make out the shape of this little pup laying down with one back leg extended out to the side, head resting on paws?  If you can, you’re good…I only know because that’s the way the drawing looks!  This one is going to be a lot of fun to carve as the pup’s extra skin folds that I’ve planned are going to be plentiful!

I’ll get a progress shot of Lola up shortly as she is looking real nice.
