Skull carved in meranti (Philippine 2024 Mahogany)

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 2024 to resist moisture and give a bit of a gloss.
