This carving was insired by our family vet who is also a fine woodworker. The idea of carving him doing puppy surgery with woodworking tools has been floating around in the back of my mind for a long time. I made clay models of the dog in order to work out the location of the paws hiding his eyes and of the guy with the drill. It is painted with acrylics and waxed with a mixture of half light and half dark liquid wax.
