Shrinking problems (the bad kind)

Carl do a redesign to include the check.  Perhaps fit another section of cedar into the opening.  After all my friend only you know what it is supposed to look like.  Like was mentioned it looks good and until you point out the problem area we all assume that it is part of the design.   Would hate to see it end up in the firewood pile.

different areas they came from to make tedious process ,by itself altering colors etc. I should have known it would be problematic .

Thats all cut angles I cut to try to get sunburst effect put together to make the main piece before segmenting and adding the additional straight grained pieces for the beak and eyes etc ! The elk was all angles ,could not stand the stress on tiny pieces after cuts from pattern ,I bought a quart of pour epoxy glaze like they use on bar tops,but decided size of separations  would show up too much !Next time I may coat blank first on both sides with it  and then cut and shape and then finish ,I think that would keep everything together !

 

I did save the Elk ,varnished and mounted on the wall over my computer screen w/velcro on the wall. I learned a lot in the total process !
