I wanted to carve this as a boxlid for the grandkids but the results were less than desirable. Can anyone look at this and give me tips on how to improve it? I used a 1/8th inch ballnose bit. It took about 3 hours to cut. I think it would look better if cleared an area around subjects and all elements (hair, teeth, ect) stood above the surface of the wood intead of the hair and other features being "sunk in". Any advice?
