Great cutting Richard, very nice! Nice grain in the wood, are you going to frame it?

Thanks to all for your feedback!

I do plan to frame it. I need to put a finish on it first.

That would be great from someone who'd been doing portraits for a while, let alone a first attempt. My thinking with portraits is less is more...the power of suggestion. Allow the viewer to "fill in the detail".
