Bishops Coat of Arms

[Brian Harnett]

I was commissioned to do two coats of arms one for the retiring bishop and one for the new one.

They will be getting painted today all of the 3d work I did by hand I used the bot to pocket the bulk out.

Most of the carving was done with dremels and diamond bits, and a carbide oval that removes a lot of wood in short order. the wood is red oak it power carves well.
Was an interesting job and as usual I underestimated my time but thats life.

Very well done! Russ

[Brady Watson]

Very nicely done! You should have one of them scanned so that your hard work can be preserved.

Got them painted up and up to the contractor for delivery.

Brady, I like the idea that they are unique by my hand that is all I have with these, they are not my original design I worked off pictures and drawings to a set of loose guidelines. So while I enjoyed the work it was not a special creative piece. I did sign the backs so I will never miss Mass.
