Step by step progress. First set out an idea for the shape of the outer edges.
I reduce the thickness of the coat of arms by half by constantly removing and deepen the carving.
Until the finall thickness on the front is reached.
On the rear I have removed even more material. I decided to carve the year of construction. This will be partly hidden by the flagpole. The rearside is not finished yet and will be fine tunedwhen the tails of the dolphins are finished.
The top view shows the reduced thickness.
Next are the tails.
