[@johnportela2291]

What do you use to hold the working piece to the wood underneath to keep it from moving?

[@ugaladh]

I've seen people use double-sided tape. I did a similar project once with gluing multiple layers of newspaper to the baseboard and then the piece to the newspaper. it will hold it, and when done, you can easily wedge under the piece and the layers of newspaper will separate.

Looks almost like an Acanthus leaf from Richard Glazier's Book Of Ornament...

[@eduardosacasa5007]

Is this mahogany?

[@jimc4731]

But, how did you carve out the underside when the piece was so thin???

[@tolgaoztemur]

what kind of wood is it?

[@alexfreitaslima]

Nice question.

[@Fran.454]

my guess would be mahogany

[@Fran.454]

some form of an acanthus leaf. Mary May wrote a book/guide covering the acanthus leaf. www.marymaycarving.com/carvingschool/the-acanthus-leaf/

[@davelabine1]

oak, it looks too dense to be mahogony

[@rotex]

Looks like peach
