This is one of the photographs I have used for ‘inspiration’ for this particular waratahs design. Below is a close up of some of the first carvings on this block.

At this stage I am still deciding on the style of hatching I would like to carve on the leaves – so have left the sections that you can see on the leaves at the top of this image with crosses marking them as flat raised areas – need to make the decision soon…

And the full image of the whole block so far.
