Here are the final pictures I took while holding the bow sections together with the figurehead wedged in between.

I enjoyed myself carving and there are a lot more carvings to be made, amongst others 2 more lions on the tafferel.

You certainly have great carving skills, Herman. From what I see from you first sketches till this result is a great transformation of a piece of wood to a very impressive Lion.

Thank you Kurt.
I understand why you have chosen for 3d making the Sovereign of the Seas. Although there are some nice examples here, hand carving the ornaments of that ship is on an other level, so much details.

Thank you Grant. Now looking forward with more confidence to further carvings.

Thank you Christian.
I tried to make him look a little grimmer by making the corners of his mouth go further down. If the nose had been a lttle longer I could have carved some skin folds over his nose and maybe make the direction of his ears stand more backwards to make him look angrier. But for now he looks as happy as I am.

Thank you Peter.
My initial thought was if you can make a good drawing of a lion you should be able to make a good carving. My sketch however was not of such a nature that i thought i could do the carving well. but in the process i studied many pictures to get a little further each time and that worked beyond expectations.
