Window to a Sea Soul (The name could change)

After marking out the basic shape I start the carving process. Not sure how this inside shape will look once finished I'll make adjustments as I progress

The board is not blemish free so have design opportunities to incorporate these knots and cracks into the finished sculpture. The knot on bottom right of photograph will be glued with colour and maybe if needed some embellishment with pyrography  

Here I've drawn the board centre to guide me when carving. I find myself immersed in the carving and things can get away. Big black lines remind me to stop.
