Five-lined skink. I tried highlighting the tail with blue paint but could not keep the edges clean, so I used the frame to (I hope) evoke the color.

@dwalbert really like this series you have going. I assume the frame is chip-carved too?

@aa Yep. Simpler than the last one (one row of triangles instead of two) but it's only 4x6 instead of 5x7.

@dwalbert I like these plaques a lot. Do you sell them, festoon your house with them, or something else?

@JohnBrady Mostly I mean to sell them. I'm still trying to figure out hardware for attaching the carvings to the frames and hanging them, I'm not sure about pricing and I need different venues... My plan is to take the summer when it's too hot to get much done in the big workshop and work on carving and painting inside, and then try to do an art show towards Christmas. Once I have several made up I'll probably post them for sale on my website (and link them here, in case anybody's interested!).

Predictably, the one that my wife would like me to carve for the house, I can't seem to figure out and get around to.
